So it works with other types, though that isn't implemented.

Doing it that way is non-trivial, and I was in a hurry to get the system 
working. Class destructors are rarely used in D, so doing it the simple way is 
not a performance issue.

Destructors for structs, however, are done the more complicated (and more 
performant) way because they need to be more efficient.
