Any destructor scheme is highly dependent on the way the GC works. If it could be avoided, you shouldn't use destructors. They are only used in Neko because you need to prevent memory leaks caused by C'allocated structures. Any other kind of finalization (closing a file, ...) should be handled manually by the user using an explicit method. Nicolas -- Neko : One VM to run them all (http://nekovm.org)
