# $recycler, $garbage, etc

    Is there any reason to "recycle" objects (parent them to $garbage and re-use)
     other than keeping down max_object()?  Is that benefit really anything but an
     aesthetic one?

    I'm thinking I'd have a lot less trouble on my MOO if I just used built-in
     recycle() and create(): Quicker, less chance for blown creation and
     destruction routines, no book-keeping problems with re-created objects.

    I'd still use the $recycler wrappers, of course, to restrict use of the
     builtins.  But, I repeat in closing, is there a good functional reason
     to re-create?
