unreferenced and unloved.  It seemed like bad practice so I wanted to
get out ahead of it.

Even if GC worked that way it wouldn't matter, if you use just one queue
per type of task.  That number should be a small constant so the memory
consumption is small.

That's basically how _non_-garbage-collected languages work! :-)
