My planned approach is very simple.  Always do a minor collection
first, and minor collections tenure everything.  If the minor
collection produces enough space, let the mutator continue.  If not,
do a major collection, which is effectively what we have always done.
The major collection will resize the heap if necessary.

I may put in some threshold, so that if the nursery gets smaller than,
say, 5% of heap size, then do a major collection.
