And in any case, that's only half-done. Then you need to successfully
garbage-collect the space containing dead data (unloaded features), or
you're doing nobody any favors.
For this proposal to make practical sense, you'd need a compacting
garbage collector, but that's difficult (except for special cases like
string data where you expect there should be exactly one reference).
