ysuzuki@ provided review feedback for Bug 214765 after the patch was landed which needs to be addressed. The most significant concern is that locking is needed around some object traversals since GC marking can occur concurrently to the main thread. However, these objects represent a tree structure and it's not immediately clear how to organize such a lock.

Reverted the patch because of the potential for multithreading-related GC craghes. Will address this feedback in the parent bug.
