  perhaps if `-M` is not otherwise set, {{{getrlimit(RLIMIT_AS,..)}}} could be
  called and the maximum heap size set to just under that, since it is the
  point that the OS will forcefully kill the program anyway.

Ravi Nanavati would like to be able to set the value to a percentage of physical RAM, e.g. `prog +RTS -H256m -M95% -RTS'.
