Why is it doesn't clear what is in memory?  I mean you could just 
totally clobber the vtable and it wouldn't matter, it's not like garbage 
collection where some stuff has to live.  It would seem to me there is a 
way to run through a script and keep the interpreter running without 
littering your namespace with all sorts of crap from the previous run 
through.
