While Brad points out that this is possible, I don't know if objects are actually marked for deletion until the request has finished. In addition, it's the kind of thing that you really don't want to get into - if you want to manage memory directly, that's why we have C/C++. The thrust of modern languages like Java is that memory management should be something that the computer does, rather than the programmer.
