This description is targeted primarily at someone trying to understand the
source code.  It specifically refers to variable and function names.
It may also be useful for understanding the algorithms at a higher level.
<P>
The description here assumes that the collector is used in default mode.
In particular, we assume that it used as a garbage collec
