Hi!
Explain me please why this code fails in runtime:
import std.stdio;

class Foo
{
~this() {writeln(typeid(this).toString ~ "is dead");}
}

void main()
{
new Foo;
}

Application error:
core.exception.InvalidMemoryOperationError

My guess is that by the time that destructor is executed, the runtime 
has been shut down sufficiently that the ~ operator cannot work. The 
following has the same error:

import std.stdio;

string foo()
{
    return "abc";
}

class Foo
{
    ~this() {writeln(foo() ~ "xyz");}
}

void main()
{
    new Foo;
}
