Hey megane, could you go into a bit more detail about this?

If I understand correctly, you mean that some finalizers that have been
moved onto the pending_finalizers_symbol may not have been invoked by
this point, but will also not included in the C_i_live_finalizers_count,
is that right? That seems right to me, but it's not clear to me what the
check should rather be.
