To be even clearer, it's only safe if the struct destructor doesn't 
access any heap data through one of its members.

And accessing an array or a string could potentially count as accessing 
heap data too (unless you can be sure it wasn't from the GC-heap).

So destructors called during the collection cycle are a very tricky 
thing to handle.
