It looks like XOTcl has "volatile" objects which are subject to some
sort of garbage collection. XOTcl is probably the most powerful OO
system Tcl has, actually. I've never used it myself because it seems
so complicated, but if I felt I needed that kind of power, XOTcl is
probably the system I'd turn to.

A lot of people who like the feel of Tcl really like the feel of Snit.
It is not especially complicated but it is rather elegant and extremely
"Tclish". Snit does not have any kind of garbage collection.
