This is all very well, but what I'd like to know is how to install the signal handler for catching NULL-dereferences?

Thats quite a big leap of faith, eschewing garbage collection. Most people who use javascript are designers first, developers second. This type of programmer is notorious for creating the kind of code that will leak memory (aka Visual Basic developers of the 90's).

You would have been better served creating a flexible garbage collected system imho.

“Why rely on machines to solve problems for us when we can do it by hand.”

This is the best line in there, by far. I love it!
