The implementation used destructive update under the
hood, which needs support in a generational GC. 

As far as I recall, the solution implemented for BEAM
was much too expensive to make destructive update
practical. (For the previous simple copying GC, the
Hipe implementation worked fairly well.)

Best,
Thomas
