      When connections (Mongo instances in the shell) are null'd they are not automatically garbage collected, as an example. There are probably other examples out there too.

      > gc()
> db.serverStatus().connections.current
2
> var m2 = new Mongo()
> db.serverStatus().connections.current
3
> var m2 = null
> db.serverStatus().connections.current
3
> gc()
> db.serverStatus().connections.current
