 I noticed that `wp_create_thumbnail()` (and possibly other image handling
 functions) doesn't make use of `imagedestroy()` to destroy the temporary
 image that's in memory once it's done with it.

 While this is automatically done when the PHP file is done running, I
 think it'd be good to do it ourselves as soon as we're done with
 `$thumbnail`, i.e. as soon as we save it.

 Less memory usage == good, right? Or am I a noob and missing something?
