At least in the PersistentRooted constructor. Finish and Trace both want a loop, which we will get to later. In the meantime we assert that only Traced and Finished lists are used.

Wow, that's an awful looking cast!

I almost wonder if it should be

  roots.typedHeapRoot<T>(kind).insertBack(this);

but if this is going to be the only use, I'd rather not hide what's going on.

Turns out it breaks gcc's strict alias analysis because we're casting from void* to multiple unrelated T. We actually need to cast this to PersistentRooted<void*>*, which is a ton tamer.
