But that's presumably the case you are looking for if you want something based off of in-do-end. Everything else is going to have to be based on when the runtime can decide that the object is no longer accessible and there is no way to tell that immediately in the general case. If there were, we wouldn't need an __immediage_gc hook because the __gc hook would be sufficient.
