some routines need to refer mruby objects (e.g. callbacks), in that case
you have to protect your objects from garbage collection. the new functions
mrb_gc_register() keeps those objects from GC. you have to remove your
objects using mrb_gc_unregister() when your C routines use mruby objects
any longer, otherwise objects will leak.
Dr Markus Kuhn published in 1999 an article [1] explaining in details
why we shouldn't use the ASCII grave accent (0x60) as a left quotation.
Backticks have been used most notably to produce nice-looking LaTeX
documents but it doesn't seem to be an issue on modern platforms and
for the oldest ones, there are workarounds as mentioned by Dr Kuhn.

Reduces the file size (by up to 2 KB with VS2015 RC, /O2, /MD) and
removes the requirement of including <ctype.h> before their usage.
Multiple macro argument evaluation and lack of type-checking is still an
issue.
It isn't needed as it's very similar to mrb_define_method_raw() and also
there's only one place where mrb_proc_ptr() actually has to be called.
Inspired by @furunkel's method cache patch (#2764).
The format specifier macros were needed to portably print a mrb_int,
because mrb_raisef() originally called vsnprintf(). It doesn't anymore
since 18b2683b97 and the mrb_int format
specifier macros are already gone.
The new implementation is backwards incompatible, but I couldn't find
any usage outside mruby and I also couldn't think of a different and
good name.
All ISO C99 printf conversion specifiers for floating point numbers and
an optional precision are supported.
It is largely based on code from the MIT licensed musl libc
(http://www.musl-libc.org/) and its floating point printing is exact
(unlike the current code behind Float#to_s).
`mruby -b` now accepts both big/little endian mrb (compiled binary) files.
`mrbc` generates mrb files in big endian for .mrb files and in native endian
for C files (with -B option specified) by default. If you are cross compiling,
you need to specify target endian by -e/-E options if it is different from
host endian.
Visual Studio versions older than 2013 lack C99's isblank().
Since only ASCII characters are passed to it, implement it
directly without calling the locale-specific isblank().
