Yes, and the killer use case would be associative arrays, which leak memory
like  a seive.  They are currently (and probably quite often) implemented as
something like:

struct Node {
    Node* left;
    Node* right;
    hash_t hash;
    K key;
    V value;
}

struct AA {
    Node*[] table;  // Can be huge, will always have a pointer to head as
                    // long as the AA is alive, fully owned by the AA 
                    // instance.  Perfect candidate for NO_INTERIOR.
}
