Failure to call a destructor in C code could be interpreted as a used error,

easier to just destroy it in the library, and not depend on users.
One can call it spaceship if they want to. That doesn't mean it's right;-)
I see, you hold a monopoly on rightness.
Yes there's libraries that do all sorts of things to help lazy
users... I think pixman is not one of them.
pixman allocates and maintains the object, so it should ensure that it
is also properly released. It doesn't appear reasonable to expect that
many users will be always releasing it. It's easier to do this in one place.
