Hmmm. I can't recall whether I've actually tested this. It's
true that there's no slot in the type object for __del__, but
I always thought that if an ordinary method called __del__
existed, it would be called at the appropriate time. It may
be that this is only true for Python classes, however. I'll
look into this.
