I added new method to Cleaner:

    public boolean helpClean() { }

I’m in two minds of making this a public method. An explicit way to enqueue 
pending references as well as invoke Cleanable::clean.  If it goes in, the 
method name needs to be renamed.

I'm also not sure that it's a good idea to have this be part of the 
Cleaner API. If feels like it's exposing too much of the internals. Is 
it really needed?
