touch# primitive

[Daniel Cartwright]

in GHC.Prim, there is a primitive 'touch#'. It seems that it is used to
keep pointers alive, and takes something of any runtime representation, and
a State# RealWorld, but there's really no documentation on it, so my idea
of what it does is just a guess. Can anyone explain what exactly it does?
