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.
This is, in fact, how most GCs other than D's work. :)
