Hum, what's the syntax for placement delete?
There is no need for placement delete. There will be a function
clear() in object.d that only calls the destructor. (That is needed
regardless.) You can carry deallocation with your own API functions.
What's the point in wasting a function name only to call the destructor?
Why not just allow "object.~this()"?
You might want to clear an int etc. for which it's unclear whether the
above should work.
Also, if you really want to put an object back in it's initial state,
you could call both the destructor and the constructor. Anything else is
going to break the object's invariant. I think it's best to leave
breaking the object's invariants to a special syntax, hence
"object.~this()".
Yah, clear destroys and then fills with .init.
