+Introduce a unified 16-bit backoff counter type (``_Py_BackoffCounter``),
+shared between the Tier 1 adaptive specializer and the Tier 2 optimizer. The
+API used for adaptive specialization counters is changed but the behavior is
+(supposed to be) identical.
+
+The behavior of the Tier 2 counters is changed:
+
+* There are no longer dynamic thresholds (we never varied these).
+* All counters now use the same exponential backoff.
+* The counter for ``JUMP_BACKWARD`` starts counting down from 16.
+* The ``temperature`` in side exits starts counting down from 64.

+
+Implement an incremental cyclic garbage collector. By collecting the old
+generation in increments, there is no need for a full heap scan. This can
+hugely reduce maximum pause time for programs with large heaps.
+
+Reduce the number of generations from three to two. The old generation is
+split into two spaces, "visited" and "pending".
+
+Collection happens in two steps:: * An increment is formed from the young
+generation and a small part of the pending space. * This increment is
+scanned and the survivors moved to the end of the visited space.
+
+When the collecting space becomes empty, the two spaces are swapped.
