I'd say the impact is too large to leave things at that. How
about a function call callStructDestructorsDuringGC(bool) -
yes, that long - that people can place in main() if they're
having trouble?
I'm okay with that, though given that this is almost exclusively
fixing bugs and isn't particularly likely to create many, I'm not
at all convinced that it's that big a deal.
