Hi Martin,

re: destructors:

Note that REBOL has automatic garbage collection. 

This means that the memory that was allocated by an object programmatically
during its creation processor or subsequently will be automatically
released when the object is destroyed. 

In contrast, programming languages like C++ that do not have automatic
garbage collection require a destructor function, so that you will be able
to clean up, i.e. release programmatically allocated memory, when your
object is destroyed. 

With automatic garbage collection, i.e. memory getting automatically
reclaimed, I think the motivation behind a destructor function no longer
exists and a destructor function is no longer critical.
