Only classes call dtors from the GC. Structs do not. There are many

expect to be called synchronously, and are not expecting to deal with
multithreading issues.
Note that structs inside classes WILL call dtors.
How is this any different? If one should not be allowed, how is the
other okay?
I'm not defending the status quo, I'm just saying what happens today.
But adding struct dtor calls to the GC will not solve the problems
identified here.
