Yeah I think that'd be fine! To be honest I never ever knew these APIs existed, I've been researching the GC and that's how I found it, so I suspect they might not be very common?ivoanjo (Ivo Anjo)
I guess objects that get a finalizer don't move -- e.g. `gc_is_moveable_obj` ==> `FALSE` so that's what made the finalizer table never be affected by this detail.ivoanjo (Ivo Anjo)
Hey! I work for Datadog on the [Ruby profiler](https://github.com/datadog/dd-trace-rb) and I've been exploring the TypedData GC API to understand the correct patterns for writing compaction-aware extensions. While reading through t...ivoanjo (Ivo Anjo)

Really cool! I wonder if this will end up solving https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19717 as well / https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/8331 is an old PR for it.ivoanjo (Ivo Anjo)

Having `MOVEDOBJ` would be very useful for being able to use the address as identity + I think it may come in handy for caches -- I think it would solve the "a) Be able to identify or reference object without preventing its GC, even if t...ivoanjo (Ivo Anjo)
