Comment (by jpflori):

 I think there is two differences here which complicate the situation:
 * we don't have an equivalent of PARIUniqueInstance to which every Sage
 objects using (in)directly fmpz's could point to
 * I fear some classes keep C pointers to fmpz's without any Python level
 wrapping (such as gen in the PARI case) and free them when they are
 deleted.

 So without implementing such a unique FLINT instance and pointing to it in
 every stuff using part of FLINT, it will be hard to ensure that every Sage
 object is deleted before calling the FLINT cleanup function.
