Btw, it seems that I am not the only one who realizes the problem of
delayed object destruction. In fact, a name has been coined for when
an object is destroyed immediately when it goes out of scope in a GC
environment: Deterministic finalization.

  One example of someone else discussing this same subject, from the point
of view of .NET:

  Probably more examples can be found by googling "deterministic finalization".
