You are right, the order was wrong.

Nice, that works.

One more question: Because make-finalizer in Emacs Lisp does not take
the object into account, I have to make sure to hold the reference to
the finalizer somehow.  However, this might not be trivial, because a
smart compiler could eliminate the reference.  Is this not an issue?
Shouldn't make-finalizer take the object as an argument and not rely on
me holding the reference explicitly?

Thank you!
