Block2/ScopeN are DLR expression trees.  They hold onto more expression trees
or variables and more expression trees.  Can you do !DumpArray on 15c002c?  
I'm curious how big the array is - is it that the array's holding onto the objects
or something in the array?  I would assume it's something in the array.

More or less the answer is yes.  We can compile code in an optimized form which
is uncollectible but we should only do this for .py files which are getting 
compiled when executing from the command line.  Even then the ScriptScope will
get collected but a bunch of other info won't.
