Yea, good catch those loops need something like this too.

The deregister is triggered by the ref count going to zero and we can't
fully release the guc_id until that operation completes hence why it is
still in the xarray. I think the solution here is to use iterator like
you mention below that ref counts this correctly.

I can check this out.
