  However, 'decRef dest' might trigger a cycle collection and then the collector
  traverses the graph. It is crucial that when it follows the pointers the assignment
  'dest[] = source' already happened so that we don't do trial deletion on a wrong
  graph -- this causes premature freeing of objects! The correct barrier looks like
  this::
