-- Note that no assumptions may be made about the values representing stable
-- pointers. In fact, they need not even be valid memory addresses. The only
-- guarantee provided is that if they are passed back to Haskell land, the
-- function 'deRefStablePtr' will be able to reconstruct the
-- Haskell value referred to by the stable pointer.
