don't do that in destructors. `_columns` field can be already
collected
by GC.
Last I checked, the GC finalizes all dead objects before
freeing them.
The GC is not guaranteed to finalize them all before freeing
them all.
I would not count on that property -- even if it's currently
true. Expect that any GC-allocated memory in your dtor is
invalid except for the memory of the object itself.
That's disappointing because it makes destructors considerably
less useful. I think that at this point, this will probably
become a guarantee for compatibility with existing code.
