So here's a question... if I code:soft_purge a module which was used to
create funs which are still in scope in some process somewhere, will that
call to soft_purge fail with false?

If so, as a hack I could have a "garbage collector" process which tries to
soft purge the temporary modules periodically until it succeeds.

This is a far uglier solution that I thought it would be when I started out,
though :(

Would it work though?
