 SBCL provides additional garbage collection functionality not
-specified by ANSI. Weak pointers allow references to objects to be
-maintained without keeping them from being garbage collected, and
-``finalization'' hooks are available to cause code to be executed when
-an object has been garbage collected. Additionally users can specify
-their own cleanup actions to be executed with garbage collection.

+Finalization allows code to be executed after an object has been

 The @code{sb-ext:freeze-type} declaration declares that a
