I fully understand that something called at GC time won't work - but
that's not a real destructor for me, that would be a sort of
"destroyer"...:)
:-D.
The destructor should IMHO be called when the JS internal ref count gets
to 0, i.e. when the object gets released to the GC to do it's job when
it wants to.
JS does not mandate reference counting, and I know of no competitive
engine that uses it.
