What it does have going for it is ubiquity and reliability. In also implement a -dispose method that I trigger from -windowWIllClose. This cascades down the view controller hierarchy but needs a bit of glue of course.

It would also need hooked up to the view controller to be actually useful. To be honest the “other place” doesn’t generically exist in my experience. Hence -dealloc and -dispose.
