Just curious ... is there any sort of an inverse of the +initialize
factory method? ... something like +cleanup? ... a factory method that
will be called for every class, say, just before an application
terminates? ... so that the class can deallocate any private data
pointed to by static variables?
I mean, I know it doesn't matter because the data will be freed anyway
when the application terminates ... it just rubs me the wrong way that
I can allocate storage in +initialize, but there is no way I can think
of to explicitly deallocate it other than use an NSApplication delegate
to free the data when a user quits the app ... or explicitly when the
application is a Foundation tool.
