We can put canaries between nursery allocations and check them on collection to ensure nothing writes past the end of an object.  This would have caught at least one bug I know of.
As discussed.

We don't use take the fast path to allocate in compiled code when any zeal mode is active, so there were no Ion changes necessary.
