Well, explicit unexporting is an alternative to letting a remote
object be unexported by (D)GC, not a prerequisite for it.

That description of the "force" boolean parameter to the unexport
operation isn't right: the distinction is that if force=false, the
unexport only occurs if there are currently no incoming remote calls
in progress to the remote object; if force=true, the unexport occurs
regardless of whether or not there are remote calls in progress.
