In theory it would be possible with some work. If I was doing it, my starting point would be to implement a membrane targeted at hot swapping objects and functions (using tools I've already made for such tasks https://github.com/Benvie/meta-objects). That is, I'd make it so I could swap out the actual object or function that is mirrored, yet retain same-identity externally. That is the first major hurdle to really achieving true hot swapping, because there's no way to come in after the fact and try and play cleanup duty and expect it to work. Once the references are disseminated there's nothing that can be done except for rebooting the context. But if you're able to protect and control those references (using the membrane concept) you can sidestep around the issue and get on to the other difficulties with the idea. I do think it's possible to do.
