And this is actually very dangerous because even if you think there are no
references to the object, the generated C code might still have a reference
or two. So at the next GC cycle it could basically cause a problem (be a
segmentation violation or something else). I'm not sure why it was added in
MEMORY at the first place, but I would not use it.
