Destroying a surface

[tvararu]

I'm interested in this as well. Or rather, destroying a context.

I did discover by digging into the source that surfaces get pushed into the private entities singleton, but since it's private there is no way of interacting with it afterwards.

Not sure about context's, but as for modifiers/views/surfaces, I asked this on stackoverflow and the answer was very helpful:

What worked perfectly for my use case was to create a mini "View" from which all descending children can be detached and then cleaned up by the GC.

@gadicc the stackoverflow gives the currently the supported way. We will be making more widgetry in future releases to aid the process.

What about with using a scrollview? If I'm scrolling through a large data set and continuing to load in more and more views & surfaces how do I stop it from hitting the ceiling / limits? What the best way to remove and add smoothly within a scrollview? Thanks!
