We need automatic deterministic destruction (and we partially 
have it, using scope(exit) and structs RAII).

Memory management is only the tip of the iceberg of resource 
management ; it's the easy problem, where an automated process 
can to tell which resources aren't needed any more.

However, an instance of a class can hold a lot more than flat 
memory blocks: threads, file handles, on-disk files, system-wide 
events, sockets, mutexes, etc.

Freeing the memory of my "TcpServer" instance is mostly useless 
if I can't reinstanciate a new one because the TCP port is kept 
open by the freed instance (whose destructor won't be run by the 
GC).
