For years I have dreamt of a Java environment that, instead of
relying on the OS to blindly manage pages, integrates the paging
system directly into the object heap. So that the Java VM pages
objects, or parts of objects that aren't being used (but are
not quite garbage yet).

Of course I expect some of you will tell me this was implemented
30 years ago in some other language ;-)
