Pretty much any ordinary cons will do. In (let ((x (cons 0 0))) (setcar x 1)), for example, the cons is referenced from executable code but it's OK to modify the cons. The cons becomes unreachable when the 'let' finishes. The cons is not part of any expression that is evaluated. The problem here evidently is one of terminology, not of understanding the underlying issues. When I read "Objects referenced from executable code" I evidently got a different meaning than what you intended. These things happen when introducing a new terminology.
