+how to manage gc mutators. need to handle:
+- need to be able to allocate a thread but not run it yet.
+  maybe have a run level, or status
+- need to make mutators thread safe, ideally without major performance impacts
+- thread terminates

+what is the right data structure? is the array OK? or would it be better
