But, it can kill volatile variables as well -- which may
lead to trouble, until we have implemented something like
"Garanteed lifetime for volatile variables".

Current potential trouble includes:

  *  inconsistent transactions in relational databases
     (as "_v_" variables are used to hold the database connection)

  *  broken Archetypes copy/move code
     (as "_v_" variables are used to communicate with
     'manage_afterAdd/beforeDelete further down the tree)
