How, exactly, do you know it's unused? Oh, because the reference count
is 0? That's exactly where the race conditions lie. Try Google if you

But of course, because you've unloaded a few modules safely, you know
better than the people who spent a lot of time during the 2.5 series
developing safe module {un,}loading code.
