Although ugly, a function to erase all named objects is an option. You 
can catch UNIX signals like SIGSEGV and call a function to release all 
reference counts, after that, abort the program. I would need to 
register every named object in a global list and the 
destroy_all_named_before_abort() would destroy every object. After that 
you can exit.
