+/* -- implementation notes -----------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * Fist and foremost, ucontext.h has been deprecated in POSIX.1-2001 and removed
+ * in POSIX.1-2008. That said glibc implements it, and musl libc has a separate
+ * library called libucontext that implements the API. On Windows we can write a
+ * similar library that utilizes Fibers. We should abstract platform details.
+ *
+ * - arguments passed to the function from `makecontext' are all ints, so it may
+ *   be useful to us only to pass flags, and most notably not pointers (objects)
+ *
+ * - `getcontext' creates a new instance of context notably uc_link is not
+ *   inherited from the current context (uc_link contains uinitialized data).
+ *
+ * - we must ensure that GC scans all stacks if we don't want to drop objects,
+ *   or disable GC while we are in a multi-stack context
+ *
+ * -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
