This is the first bug that I had encounter first hand when 
programming in d. An bug that hasn't been fixed in years!

It can be fix by having the druntime providing a interface say 
"Dispose" and just have the destroy function call that and leave 
the old deconstructors alone.

The fix itself is heavily inspired by c# language.
