The only time it may not run, it is when these are collected by 
the GC. Which is not a problem if you want to use RAII, as in 
C++, to not use a GC.

What need to sink in is that, when it come to RAII, you have all 
the same tool as in C++ and can do all the same shit (modulo 
internal pointers), as unasfely as in C++.
