    <comment: 'I provide a few methods that enable one to tune the
virtual machine''s usage of memory.  In addition, I can signal to my
dependants some `events'' that can happen during the virtual machine''s
life.

ObjectMemory has both class-side and instance-side methods.  In general,
class-side methods provide means to tune the parameters of the memory
manager, while instance-side methods are used together with the #current
class-side method to take a look at statistics on the memory manager''s
state.'>
