As far as I can tell, you've been asking for three things:
1. Efficient finalization, with finalization functions written in O'Caml.
2. Correct finalization of circular references.
3. Immediate finalization: as soon as a value becomes unreachable, the
finalization function is called.
I don't know how to get all three together. It is likely that we'll
have 1 and 2 in a future release of O'Caml.
