1. How can we run such an occasional task? It should be called regularly, if Python is actively executing or not, just like a garbage collector thread would be. I don't think making this collection part of the normal call to allocate/free objects is a good idea, because that would add some expensive overhead in what needs to be a fast path for Python.
Would attaching it to a less frequent level 1 garbage collection call work? (or even a level 2 if 1 is called too often)
