I had a look at your fix. I see that you added a call to "release" in 
the destructor. Just for the record, there's no guarantee that the 
destructor of a GC allocated object gets run, at all.

Or, if this class get instantiated by some Objective-C framework then it 
will know nothing about the destructor in D. I guess the right solution 
is to override "dealloc".

Hmm, I'm wondering if it's a good idea to lower a destructor to 
"dealloc", just like a constructor is lowered to "init".

Awesome :)
