I'm not complaining. I'm simply suggesting that the very word 
"destructor" likely plays a role in the misconception that class 
destructors behave as they do in C++. However, I do think that when 
moving from one language to another, there has to be a certain 
expectation that things are going to be different and it shouldn't be a 
surprise when they are.
