Description JF Bastien 2017-04-12 09:31:13 PDT
As of bug #170628 the GC knows some things about WebAssembly fast memories. Maybe it should know a bit more, and free up unused fast memories if they seem easy to get but haven't been getting much use recently.

This is at odds with pre-allocation to avoid fragmentation, so we have to be careful.
