Ah, yes, you're completely right; I missed this fact. Apparently
under these conditions, you _can_ resurrect objects, but it's bad
practice (and unnecessary) in most situations.
@Andrei: The reason this is allowed is that finalization is
_separate_ from garbage collection in .NET. So an object can be
finalized and yet still not GC'd. Or its finalizer might be
suppressed, allowing it to get GC'd directly. This allows for
many possibilities, although you don't usually need them.
