Should process in STOP state be swapped out?

Hi,

I've noticed that if I kill -STOP a process, the in-core size does not
change even when there is memory pressure (what I'm expecting is that
if there is memory pressure, the process's in-core part gets swapped
out from time to time).  Is this behavior intentional?

Cheers,
