+ - Rename files in src/gc for sanity, suggested names:
+  * gc_gms.c -> generational_ms.c
+  * gc_ims.c -> incremental_ms.c
+  * dod.c -> api.c (it defines the public interface to the GC system, including 'pobject_lives')

+- Rename all API functions to Parrot_gc_*.
+
+- If there are any non-API functions in src/gc/api.c move them into another file, possibly src/gc/common.c to indicate that they're internal to the GC system only, but shared between all the GC modules.
