I think that this is the first that I've heard of them not
being virtual, but if I had to guess, the reason is that class
finalizers are called by the GC, and their TypeInfo is probably
used, which would make it unnecessary for the finalizer to be
virtual, because it would always be called directly rather than
through a base class reference. But that's just a guess.

Honesty the finalizer and destructor should be split up if we
introduce memory allocation without the GC, as finalizer is
something that the GC uses and shouldn't be touch by anything
else.
I wish they give us some a little overview with ProtoObject.
