Ah, now I remember that you said "per object".

Since it isn't very common in Scheme to need to do anything special
when an object is GC:d it would be bad cost/benefit to have a GC slot
per default.

You can always arrange for this yourself by letting the free function
of your own objects call a slot you have reserved for such a function.
