[M3devel] REFANY-keyed tables?

[Rodney M. Bates]

Tony, I see that Refany.Equal does not raise an exception, but rather just checks
pointer equality.  Is it true, as this would require, that parallel GC prevents
a mutator from executing this during the period when some but not all of the
pointers to a being-moved heap object have been updated?
