[DGD] Re: remove_program()

Quoting Stephen's message from 21 May:
[...]

| in my driver object? Or will something Bad happen? What else do

Nothing bad will happen.  And yes, as far as I know the only thing it's
used for is 'housekeeping' as you call it, for instance to update a
database of objects/programs, where it is rather convenient to have the
driver tell you a specific one is no longer referenced (and can be
discarded).
