Nope :) I store a pointer on each accounted object, so if I have
a notification about freeing of not-accounted object I will not
decrement my counter ;)

I think it's too hard (if possible at all) to handle at generic level
whether we have notified this particular object allocation to some
listener or not, so I'd better leave this for the listener to handle
such a case.
