[gambit-list] Some questions on tls contexts

Marc,

Post refcount release bug, I've been looking more closely into the
implementation of tls contexts, and I have a couple of questions

1. The tls context contains internally allocated data, that is released
immediately with ___release_rc_tls_context in failure paths of
___os_make_tls_context.
    However, I am not convinced it gets cleaned up when the tls context is
reclaimed by the gc.
    Is there a finalizer for tls contexts or do we leak that internal
memory?

2. Is there a need to make a tls context per socket or can the tls context
be reused and shared among many (concurrent) sockets?
    Currently I make a new context every time I make an https request, but
it would be very nice if a single context could be
    reused.
