	This would be a very good Idea, It could be put in OpenLibrary,
and CloseLibary and be a way to prevent opening or closing the library
more than once from one program.  Also, when a task craps out, the
library lists could be scanned and the libraries closed accordingly. 
This would give the Amiga a more robust interface to keep bad programs
from making the hardware look bad.

	While were at this list keeping business, how about tracking
memory allocations, and deallocating the blocks when the run is over?  I
know this might add some overhead to allocations and frees, but I think
it would be worth it.
