Yes, I'm positive that the stack base is correct and I've verified
that the value is on the stack and is being scanned during marking
stage of GC. But, as i described, it is not recognized as a valid
CollectorCell, because the compiler, before putting the value on the
stack, increases the pointer by 4 (I assume the reson for that are
implict casts between ValueImp and AllocatedValueImp).
