Should destructors be able to tell who called them?

My first thought was that they are actually two separate functions distinguished
by a boolean, then Michel also mentioned the SafeD argument.
atm I think it is better to let go of the destructor entirely for anything else
than the GC collecting non-gc owned data as we now have. (the unsafe version,
not compilable in SafeD). Rather provide a standard interface to implement and
base deterministic release of resources on that. A much more simple version of
IDisposable. clear() can call this one and leave ~this alone.
Anything that needs more reliability will need to use structs / reference
counting.
