Me too. I think this is a pretty peculiar design detail in the cocoa
runtime.
Objects doing different kinds of cleanup when destroyed is pretty common.
This isn't just about cleanup when the application/process is terminating,
but also during run. An example is the connection termination.
What is the suggested approach for doing 'destructor' work which isn't
simple deallocation of memory?
