I'm working on intern'ing UTF-8 constants. So any two Utf8Const *
pointers will actually be equal if they have the same contents.

The question I have now is how to remove Utf8Const's from the
hashtable when all of their references have been garbage collected
away?

Is it correct that I just need to write a special finalizer
"finalizeUtf8Const" in gc-incremental.c that removes the string
from the hashtable?

Thanks,
-Archie
