 - Merge branch 'master' into couple_sizing_tenuring
 - More consts and a bit more encapsulation of preselected regions.
 - Refactor to make interface narrow since state is implicitly managed in
   collection_set. Further clean up can wait for the future.
 - Replace automatic array variables with resource area allocated arrays
   and coupled resource marks.
 - Replace alloca() with automatic array allocation. Might be better to
   replace with resource arrays for hygiene.
 - Structured maintenance of preselected regions field: first iteration
 - Some more documentation comments.
 - Add/expand some documentation comments; remove some unused "tracking
   variables".
 - Remove unnecessary `num_regions` parameter to method
   `select_aged_regions()`.
