destructors *may* be called eventually. or not. in any order. but never
twice.

think about object destructors as "finalizers". no calling order
guarantees, nor even guarantees that something will be called at all.

so if your VM becomes garbage, and registered objects are anchored only
by VM (i.e. there are no more references to that objects), destructors
can be called in any order.
