If you later add a local variable whose value is GCable, it might end
up deeper on the stack than env. Also, depending on the function body,
there's some danger that a temporary that holds a GCable value will be
placed deeper on the stack. In either of those cases, the collector
won't see the deeper pointers.

The extra wrapper function ensures that the registered local is always
deeper on the stack than any GCable pointer.
