I didn't know these two, can I get source on them?
I don't have any specific knowledge about the D collector, but it
is my understanding that most collectors out there work this way,
because it would be very expensive and bug-prone to do otherwise
(remember that destructors may do things like get stuck in a loop
or "resurrect" themselves or other collected objects).
Also, I'm assuming what I said about calling destroy(instance)
is as correct as calling a cleanup method?
Yes, I think so.
