Constructor worked twenty years ago, too. But really, what i always hated is the inflexibility with standards, you could have atexit, but not atexit_unregister, etc. and so it is with modules. Anyhow with a dedicated module_unregister call-in a module can throw away all references it possibly holds explicitly.
