don't complain about people wondering why class destructors don't work
when there's no _real_ way to do it in D beyond 'drop down to C level

I'm not complaining. I'm simply suggesting that the very word
"destructor" likely plays a role in the misconception that class
destructors behave as they do in C++. However, I do think that when
moving from one language to another, there has to be a certain
expectation that things are going to be different and it shouldn't be a
surprise when they are.
