[clean-list] Wish list

I would like to add some thing to the Wish list.

I wish if this functionality ever appears it is also included for 
arrays (multi-dimensional), so that we are allowed to split a unique 
array into unique non-overlapping sub-parts (I can get more detailed 
with a quasi-impementation using the current C FFI if necessary).

I also wish there were weak-pointers and finalization calls for 
objects. Again, I can supply more details of where I need them if 
necessary.

Thanks,
