That the GC would not call class destructors have been proposed 
by Alexandrescu in this very community, which kindly rejected the 
change, years ago.

This can be done if everyone first jump into the deterministic 
destruction wagon, since programs are currently accidentally 
correct. But you'll find that people do not agree on the problem.

So, in the absence of consensus, idioms like the one I posted are 
what we have right now.
