The following program prints two different addresses.
Meaning the new allocates memory until the program dies.
So the means memory leak by default ?

```

import std.stdio:writefln;
import object: destroy;
import core.memory: GC;

void dofun(){
     auto a=new int[1000];
     writefln("%12x",&a);
     destroy(a);
     GC.free(a.ptr);
}

int main(){
     dofun();
     auto b=new int[1000];
     writefln("%12x",&b);
     return 0;
}

```


No, what I am trying to explain is that `destroy(a)` is literally 
equivalent to `a = null`.

If you then `free(a)` do you think it does anything?
