 // Platform abstraction for discardable memory. DiscardableMemory is used to
 // cache large objects without worrying about blowing out memory, both on mobile
 // devices where there is no swap, and desktop devices where unused free memory
 // should be used to help the user experience. This is preferable to releasing
 // memory in response to an OOM signal because it is simpler, though it has less
 // flexibility as to which objects get discarded.
 //
 // Discardable memory has two states: locked and unlocked. While the memory is
 // locked, it will not be discarded. Unlocking the memory allows the OS to
 // reclaim it if needed. Locks do not nest.

How will this work on a platform like Win32 where we know if discardable memory
is available only at runtime? Will this turn into
DISCARDABLE_MEMORY_ALWAYS_SUPPORTED_NATIVELY?
