Things that need to be figured out before ActionMonkey is finished include:
See [[Javascript:ActionMonkey]].
 
=== Garbage collection ===
 
* How will we use MMgc? There are at least 2 modes: incremental and non-incremental.  Incremental is smoother.  Non-incremental has the advantage that you don't have to go through all your source code and add DWB() everywhere.
 
* Do we have classes that are sometimes used on stack and sometimes on heap?  MMgc doesn't currently fully support that (e.g. DWB() on the stack looks like it will crash).  [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385375 BMO 385375] asks Taras to answer this question.
 
* What objects will be in managed memory?  At least all JavaScript objects and scopes and the DOM objects.
 
* And of course--what to do about threads?  This is a large topic, XXX TODO expand on this.
