I haven't actually written one yet, so it leaks if you don't pay
attention yourself. But I have a plan that should work: you do
the setTimeout(collect, 0) so it runs when the event loop is
idle. Then the wasm stack is empty so you can scan pure memory.

This isn't true, it never needs a second thread, even on normal
desktop.
The problem with GC on wasm is the webasm stack is opaque. You
can have the compiler output a shadow stack or my plan of
scanning when it is empty. Either should work but I haven't had
time to implement anything.
