-   Set or query additional GC allocation threshold. Normally, GC is
-   triggered when new allocation cannot be satisfied, i.e. on out of
-   memory (OOM) condition. If this function is called, in addition to
-   OOM, GC will be triggered each time after *amount* of bytes has been
-   allocated (in total, since the previous time such amount of bytes
-   had been allocated). *amount* is usually specified as less than the
-   full heap size, with the intention to trigger GC earlier than the
-   heap will be exhausted, and in the hope that early GC will prevent
-   excessive memory fragmentation. This is a heuristic measure, effect
-   of which will vary from an application to application, as well as
-   the optimal value of *amount* parameter.

-   Calling the function without argument will return current value of

+      This function is a MicroPython extension. CPython has a similar
       function - ``set_threshold()``, but due to different GC
       implementations, its signature and semantics are different.
