09/17/2020, 4:38 PMWell you kinda can, but you need to store it externally

09/17/2020, 4:39 PMI mean that would need to be a global
Nir
09/17/2020, 4:40 PMand there wouldn't be a way to know when it was appropriate to remove state from there
Nir
09/17/2020, 4:40 PMso it would effectively leak memory
Nir
