It is so the refcount works out.
When you call initialize, it does something like:
if(refcount == 0)
actually intialize; // calls constructors etc
refcount++;
When you call terminate, it does:
refcount--;
if(refcount == 0)
actually terminate; // calls destructors etc
If you don't pair it, the refcount will be off, so the next
call to terminate will still see ref > 0 and not actually
terminate.
The D main inserts a call to init before main and a call to
terminate after main automatically.
That makes sense, now I see, thank you again Adam.
