With a long-running Python process performing dynamic signal routing
with high volume- e.g. connecting to function closures, "senders" are
all unique object instances, and doing all of this over and over- you
may see memory usage will grow due to extraneous bookeeping. (An empty
set() for each stale sender/receiver pair.)
This method will prune that bookeeping away, with the caveat that such
pruning is not threadsafe. The risk is that cleanup of a fully
disconnected receiver/sender pair occurs while another thread is
connecting that same pair. If you are in the highly dynamic, unique
receiver/sender situation that has lead you to this method, that
failure mode is perhaps not a big deal for you.
