    83  	// Assumptions and observations of Go's garbage collector, as of Go 1.17-1.20:
    84  
    85  	// - the initial heap goal is 4M, by fiat.  It is possible for Go to start
    86  	//   with a heap as small as 512k, so this may change in the future.
    87  
    88  	// - except for the first heap goal, heap goal is a function of
    89  	//   observed-live at the previous GC and current GOGC.  After the first
    90  	//   GC, adjusting GOGC immediately updates GOGC; before the first GC,
    91  	//   adjusting GOGC does not modify goal (but the change takes effect after
    92  	//   the first GC).
    93  
    94  	// - the before/after first GC behavior is not guaranteed anywhere, it's
    95  	//   just behavior, and it's a bad idea to rely on it.
    96  
    97  	// - we don't know exactly when GC will run, even after we adjust GOGC; the
    98  	//   first GC may not have happened yet, may have already happened, or may
    99  	//   be currently in progress, and GCs can start for several reasons.
   100  
   101  	// - forEachGC above will run the provided function at some delay after each
   102  	//   GC's mark phase terminates; finalizers are run after marking as the
   103  	//   spans containing finalizable objects are swept, driven by GC
   104  	//   background activity and allocation demand.
   105  
   106  	// - "live at last GC" is not available through the current metrics
   107  	//    interface. Instead, live is estimated by knowing the adjusted value of
   108  	//    GOGC and the new heap goal following a GC (this requires knowing that
   109  	//    at least one GC has occurred):
   110  	//		  estLive = 100 * newGoal / (100 + currentGogc)
   111  	//    this new value of GOGC
   112  	//		  newGogc = 100*requestedHeapGoal/estLive - 100
   113  	//    will result in the desired goal. The logging code checks that the
   114  	//    resulting goal is correct.
   115  
   116  	// There's a small risk that the finalizer will be slow to run after a GC
   117  	// that expands the goal to a huge value, and that this will lead to
   118  	// out-of-memory.  This doesn't seem to happen; in experiments on a variety
   119  	// of machines with a variety of extra loads to disrupt scheduling, the
