finalization

Description

Sets the automatic finalization system state to newval.

The initial state is #f. If the state changes from #f to #t, a new thread is created which regularly calls drain-finalization-queue inside an empty dynamic environment (that is, no dynamic condition handlers). If the state changes from #t to #f, the thread exits.
