// static object visitors used during GC.
// Visiting HeapObject body with a normal ObjectVisitor requires performing
// two switches on object's instance type to determine object size and layout
// and one or more virtual method calls on visitor itself.
// Static visitor is different: it provides a dispatch table which contains
// pointers to specialized visit functions. Each map has the visitor_id
// field which contains an index of specialized visitor to use.
