Subject: A shutdown()?

I'm just curious, and I've asked this before but I don't remember quite 
what the answer was.  Is there ever going to be a function that will 
clean out ruby for reuse?  I know it wasn't ment to do that, but for the 
purposes of embedding it would help.  E.g. I could make sure when 
loading a new data file that it wouldn't overlap with previously defined 
objects.  I could also make sure that I'm making a clean shutdown out of 
my program.

One suggestion offered was to make everything as part of its own thread 
and everything would disapear when the thread exits, but I'm not sure 
that will work, since the program is going to be comming in and out of 
ruby a great deal.

It this a possability or no?
