this is the cleaniest and most understandable syntax, but please 
make them attributes

copy / move are very common keywords, if they become reserved, 
i'll riot

i have no desire to use RAII, literally 0, don't also remove 
words i can use in my code

i already complained about `destroy` being in `object.d` and top 
top it all, it being a freaking template...

it took me DAYS wondering why my destroy function was never 
called despite the program compiling
