+This makes the Mono runtime and the SGen garbage collector run in cooperative
+mode as opposed to run on preemptive mode. Preemptive mode is the mode
+that Mono has used historically, going back to the Boehm days, where the
+garbage collector would run at any point and suspend execution of all
+threads as required to perform a garbage collection. The cooperative mode
+on the other hand requires the cooperation of all threads to stop at a
+safe point. This makes for an easier to debug garbage collector. As
+of Mono 4.3.0 it is a work in progress, and while it works, it has not
+been used extensively. This option enabled the feature and allows us to
+find spots that need to be tuned for this mode of operation. Alternatively,
+this mode can be enabled at compile time by using the --with-cooperative-gc
+flag when calling configure.
