No, based on what he wants to do (and his observation that Python suffers
from the same 'misdesign' as Java) it's pretty clear that he's using
'destructor' in the C++ sense, since C++ dtors have exactly the behavior
he's looking for.

As someone who needed a year or so to separate the C++ and Python halves of
my brain, I sympathize, and can only urge (as gently as possible) Mr Charney
to think Pythonically , instead of dealing with the frustration of expecting
Python to follow C++'s rules. Down that path lies madness.
