And plain wont work unless we use wrappers for all our resources. The reason
being that any one object will only have finalize() called twice through its
entire life. So if the first finalize you push resource back into pool, its
death put off. If it happens a second time, finalize is not guarenteed to be
called again. At least that was my impression from a read ages ago though it
does sound very wrong.
