/**
 * This class implements <i>per-collector thread</i> behavior
 * and state for the <i>RC</i> plan, which implements a full-heap
 * reference counting collector.<p>
 *
 * Specifically, this class defines <i>RC</i> collection behavior
 * (through <code>trace</code> and the <code>collectionPhase</code>
 * method).<p>
 *
 * @see RC for an overview of the reference counting algorithm.<p>
 *
 * FIXME The SegregatedFreeList class (and its decendents such as
 * MarkSweepLocal) does not properly separate mutator and collector
 * behaviors, so the ms field below should really not exist in
 * this class as there is no collection-time allocation in this
 * collector.
