/* Shared namespaces are expected to have relatively short lifetimes.
   This means dealloc of a shared namespace will normally happen "soon".
   Namespace items hold cross-interpreter data, which must get released.

   where the items' cross-interpreter data was set then that will cause
   pending calls to be used to release the cross-interpreter data.
   The tricky bit is that the pending calls can happen sufficiently
   later that the namespace/items might already be deallocated.  This is
   a problem if the cross-interpreter data is allocated as part of a
