Hi, Dmitri

Great that someone's mentioning it.
I thought about that several times but did not put it in here.

This is a must-have for me. Really useful if you're working with external
resources (streams, database connection etc).
I used a destructor until now for stuff like that but there are some
situations where a destructor won't be called.

Bye
Simon
