Nothingness

[Vance Shipley]

What about the fact that atoms are not garbage collected?

If you are creating atoms from a text file to stick them in 
a database the number of unique atoms which get created over
time could quite easily become large.  Imagine logging the 
userid (e.g. vances) of each active session in a database.
As they leave you remove their entry in from the database.  
Wouldn't this result in an ever increasing atom table?
