// Essentially, for each assignment A = B, where A is or contains a

// we replaced the call to typedmemmove with gcWriteBarrier(&A, B).
// As far as the GC is concerned, all pointers are the same, so it

// There are possible optimizations that are not implemented.
//
// runtime.writeBarrier can only change when the goroutine is
// preempted, which in practice means when a call is made into the
// runtime package, so we could optimize by only testing it once
// between function calls.
//
// A slice could be handled with a call to gcWriteBarrier plus two
// integer moves.
