Summary Leaks tool reports false memory leaks due to Rope implementation.

A rope is a recursive data structure where each node in the rope holds a set of pointers, each of which may reference either a string (in UStringImpl form) or another rope node. A low bit in each pointer is used to distinguish between rope & string elements, in a fashion similar to the recently-removed PtrAndFlags class (see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33731 ). Again, this causes a problem for Leaks – refactor to remove the magic pointer mangling.
