Details

Incremental GC can't be on by default. JSAPI applications that use JS_SetGCCallback expect certain guarantees that incremental GC would break. (Exactly when is GC_MARK_END fired, for example?) So the callbacks will behave differently if you turn on incremental GC. Not a big deal. If we ever abandon incremental GC (for example, to use a generational GC instead), we'll just deprecate the option.
