That sounds definitely wrong. What's happening OTOH is that the
GC needs a TypeInfo pointer at the end of each allocated block
*if* the allocated struct needs to be destructed later on, when
releasing a page. It's the only type info it has at that point,
and the TypeInfo knows how to destruct its instances.
