Exactly. That's why it's wrong to rely on the GC if you need
deterministic resource management. It's simply the wrong tool

Unfortunately, the "right" tools are a bit awkward to use, for
the time being. I still have hopes that we can finally get our
act together and get a usable `scope` implementation, which can
then be used to provide better library defined container types
as well as efficient reference counting.
If we can't relay on GC wholly, there is no need for GC.
All of the objects, that I can create, I can destroy manually by
myself, without any doubtful GC destroying attempts.
