In normal mixed execution this isn't likely to get big and generally isolates are shutdown frequently so this doesn't lead to problems.  In Xcomp mode with tests that stress unloading this becomes more problematic.  In the worst case is still doesn't lead to large heaps but does make the idle heap larger than required.

I pushed some expanded comments and renames.  I also adjusted some types that were weaker than the actual type which removed a bit of casting.  Testing was clean.
