+** Some notes about garbage-collected objects: All objects in Lua must
+** be kept somehow accessible until being freed, so all objects always
+** belong to one (and only one) of these lists, using field 'next' of
+** the 'CommonHeader' for the link:
 **
-** Lua keeps most objects linked in list g->allgc. The link uses field
-** 'next' of the CommonHeader. Threads (except the main one) ar kept
-** at the end of the 'allgc' list, after the 'l_registry' (which is
-** the first object to be added to the list).
-**
-** List 'fixedgc' keep objects that are not to be collected (currently
+** mainthread->next: all threads;
+** localgc: all local objects not marked for finalization;
+** localfin: all local objects marked for finalization;
+** allgc: all non local objects not marked for finalization;
+** finobj: all non local objects marked for finalization;
+** tobefnz: all objects ready to be finalized; 
+** fixedgc: all objects that are not to be collected (currently
 ** only small strings, such as reserved words).

-** Live objects with finalizers are kept in the list g->finobj. The
-** list g->tobefnz links all objects being finalized. In particular, an
-** object has its FINALIZEDBIT set iff it is in one of these lists.
