Hi all,

While working on a toolbox for using multi precision numbers in Scilab
it as become clear that a way of tracking Scilab variable destruction
would be ideal.

Why is it needed is when a Scilab variable has some anonymous memory(
i.e. not in the scilab stack) associated with it.

Especially useful would be a way to hook against variable removal or
overwrite with a custom function for the structure.

Would it be possible to see such function in a future version of Scilab?
