AFAIK the memory associated with JIT compiled code is owned by the
ExecutionSession from which you obtained the JITEvaluatedSymbol and is initially
allocated by the ObjectLayer using a SectionMemoryManager.

Beyond running the destructor for either the ExecutionSession or ObjectLayer, I
have not seen a way to do this. Perhaps it's possible by implementing your own
SectionMemoryManager-like class?
