Just a thought, I think we must distinguish between 2 cases. A) a 
dynamic handler declared before the interpreters are started and B) a 
dynamic handler declared at runtime.

In the former case the current behavior is perhaps correct. But in the 
latter I think the dynamic handler should bind the interpreter to the 
request/thread just like a pool cleanup does.

Thoughts?
