Re: [Gc] Freeing thread-local storage

AFAIK, there is currently no such mechanism, though it would probably be
easy to add one.  I would consider this a somewhat dubious "experts-only"
proposition.  It's very easy to construct programs that allocate memory in
one thread and free it another, leading to unbounded growth of the
thread-local free-list in the receiving thread.  Currently that's only
released if the thread terminates, so it would essentially be an unbounded
memory leak.
