I think there's no need to argue that in this community. The GC

an extreme one).
I think I (we) need a bit of clarification.
Docs in http://dlang.org/class.html#destructors states that: "The
garbage collector calls the destructor function when the object
is deleted."
As far as I understand, this means that destructors are always
called when an instance is collected. Is this right?
Doesn't this mean that destructors are guaranteed to run for
unreferenced objects if we force the GC to do a full collect
cycle?
