Hi,

"The garbage collector is not guaranteed to run the destructor

What the *hell*? So resources are allowed to arbitrarily leak
and the programmer has to actually expect this to happen?
I really, really hope that this is a documentation error or
early design decision that has since been rectified but with
lack of documentation updates.
use "clear", or "scope (exit)" or "structs" or scoped!... etc.
There could always be a false reference... so you cannot depend
on automatically releasing resources in a class destructor.
