Can I check whether there's an active ResourceMark?

[frederic parain]

Hi Tony,

The _nesting field of the ResourceArea class provides the
number of nested ResourceMarks (_nesting < 0 means no
ResourceMark has been set up). This field is only available
in debug builds, but it could do the job for an assert.
