Following up on tonight's discussion -- How spread-out is the reference
allocation and ref-counting in the core? Is it possible to hook into
it with XS (or a miniperl of sorts) and track the allocations (possibly
corollating them to line# in the source)?

Issues of control, repair, improvement, cost, or just plain
understandability all come down strongly in favor of open source
solutions to complex problems of any sort.
