Just a quick update: The memory manager now organizes small objects of same memory type in blocks; a client needs to register a memory type before first allocation; for larger objects the memory type is stored right in front of the object itself (similar to Nickle's scheme). This allows me to just store the addresses instead of pairs of object and memory type addresses. Here is a brief documentation of the current API.
The next steps are (1) extension of the API by macros for tracking transient objects, (2) tearing open and stitching back together the Lush interpeter, (3) debugging, debugging, debugging, (4) implementing asynchronous collect.
Since there are no special functions for dealing with ATs anymore, I am feeling this could become a library...
