I think such magic may exist, or I'm extraordinarily lucky. Objects I 
was constructing inside of a foreign-safe-lambda call were sitting at 
top-level in application instances that were running for quite an 
extended time, and themselves were frequently referenced. (IE, a 
foreign-safe-lambda constructed Color would be referenced as the 
clear-color repeatedly).
