// queue.  A black object is marked and not on a work queue.
//
// Write barriers, root discovery, stack scanning, and object scanning
// produce pointers to grey objects.  Scanning consumes pointers to
// grey objects, thus blackening them, and then scans them,
// potentially producing new pointers to grey objects.

// workbufs never live on the heap, so write barriers are unnecessary.
