Here's an idea that may help implementation slightly, and will almost
certainly increase the likelihood of any patch getting accepted: do the
pool scanning and freeing only on specific call of e.g. gc.free_mem().
IIUC, you'll still need to change the allocation strategy slightly, but
that's lower risk.

Once your strategy has proven itself, we can start talking about ways to
perform the freeing automatically.
