/**
 * A very simple class that facilitates running things like plugins
 * without locking, by collecting unwanted objects and deleting them
 * after a delay so as to be sure nobody's in the middle of using
 * them.  Requires scavenge() to be called regularly from a non-RT
 * thread.
 *
 * This is currently not at all suitable for large numbers of objects
 * -- it's just a quick hack for use with things like plugins.
