description: >
Enable mark-and-sweep garbage collection (recommended).
When disabled, only reference counting is used for garbage collection.
This reduces code footprint and eliminates garbage collection pauses, but
objects participating in unreachable reference cycles won't be collected
until the Duktape heap is destroyed. In particular, function instances
won't be collected because they're always in a reference cycle with their
default prototype object. Unreachable objects are collected if you break
reference cycles manually (and are always freed when a heap is destroyed).
