I don't understand the default 

finalizeResourceData: handle
������ handle isNull ifTrue: [ ^ self ].
������ handle free.
������ handle beNull

when handle is an ExternaData, free is defined as in ExternalStructure class as: 

free
������ "Free the handle pointed to by the receiver"
������ (handle ~~ nil and:[handle isExternalAddress]) ifTrue:[handle free].
������ handle := nil. 

but beNull is not defined on nil.

I can define my own finalizeResourceData: but the default one, does not work apparently.

there is nothing like that and I do not recommend messing with the registry in general.

I'm using autoRelease on some FFIOpaqueObject instances.

I need to test some behavior when I delete explicitly one of these objects. ��How to remove these objects from the finalization list, in order they are not freed two times.

Something like ignoreFinalization ?
