Hi,

Tidy is small understatement but OK.. :) inline..

My tree, or maybe the current tree, has another unpin under unpin_src 
label, so perhaps you'll need to rebase?

Lets see if I got it right: By making the returned object pinned and 
having the caller unpin when done with it, it now can always be in 
"dontneed" state, and will be a shrinker candidate only (or as soon) 
when it is unpinned, correct?

I just don't get at the moment, if previously there was some race or bad 
interaction with less pinning and that signaling using 
_EXEC_OBJECT_PURGEABLE?

Tvrtko
