Nothing's "stopping"  this and it may be the way it ends up getting done.  I
hoped that someone had already worked out some of the details, that's all.
As you said in a previous post, garbage collectors do something like it, but
I do not get the sense that writing a garbage collector is necessarily
trivial.

More to the point,  the pruning will probably need to take some more human
input along the way, which sounds like several passes to me.  I am not sure
how far the person involved wants to go in paring down the schema.  I
suspect he wants to be fairly draconian  about it.

Cheers,
