I don't think there's a problem with destroy in the first
place. The problem is that it's being advertised as calling the
destructors:
http://dlang.org/library/object/type_info.destroy.html
http://dlang.org/library/object/destroy.html
The function would need a documentation section itself, since
it's being advertised as a replacement for `delete` and
expected to do the same wherever there's something to read
about it.
We probably just need a new page in the `D Reference` about
Lifetime. Documenting the general behavior and good practices of
anything that manages lifetime, e.g. malloc, free, delete,
destroy, new, pointers, classes, base types, etc.
