No, haven't filed anything yet.  Thought I'd wait to see if anything like that 
existed first.

My app has several tasks that collect data via a loop and display it on a 
table.  Objects are retained as they're displayed so the objects don't have to 
be recalculated next time they're displayed.  But if I received a low-memory 
warning, I could release that data, and recalculate it later if needed.  Seems 
simple enough, but I don't know how to find out when memory is low.
