42.17. $noCollectableStrs

$noCollectableStrs is a bit that specifies that an area will have no STRING descriptors pointing into areas where STRINGs are collected. This saves time during garbage collections because the collector does not have to examine STRING descriptors into other areas; however, if there is indeed a descriptor pointing into an area that is collected, the result is undefined. This bit may be passed to $newArea and $changeAreaParms.
