      SoftReference clearing controls whether a SoftReference should be treated as strong-ref or weak-ref.

      Maximum compaction controls whether space occupied by some dead objs should not be reclaimed to avoid moving following objs (in a sliding scheme).

      The former acts during marking while the latter after marking.

      The current implementation mixes the two concepts. Decouple them to avoid confusion and offer more freedom of control.
