Here's my confusion: let's say I do this
new Ajax.Request(...);
where the object isn't assigned to a variable. Why doesn't the object become
available for garbage collection immediately after it's
created? Where is the reference to this new instance of Ajax.Request?
I'm obviously missing something, but what?
