I'm not sure what "it's" is referring to in your statement. In
the example, Foo wraps manually allocated memory that is freed
when Foo goes out of scope. If the goal is to free the memory in
Foo when Bar goes out of scope, that can be done without error by
rewriting Foo. Therefore I'm not understanding how this situation
can arise in real world code (I'm sure it can, though, which is
why I'm asking).
