When did you come over to the darkside?

I see no evidence of circular references, the culprit of memory leaks.

I see zero reason to implement either of the solutions mentioned.

Oh, well, if it's feedback on your actual scripting, I've got some of that

Comparing to my own work with accessible suckerfish menus, I actually have
no feedback.

Have a good evening,
