Good question. I think I answered it in my original post:

An object is transient if it can be garbage collected. An object is

At the level I'm working at, that's what might unkindly be called an
implementation detail. It is in fact a very important matter. But a
simple-minded implementation would be enough to produce a proof-of-concept.

 Oh, that's very good. In my original post my focus was on explaining as
clearly as I could the basic concepts. For that reason (and others) I said
little about implementation. If you like, I'd be very happy to discuss
implementation with you and others, either here or on the Python C-API list.

However, I'd like to put that off for a few days. And this would give
others on this list an opportunity to comment.
