 Quoting [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11518#comment:23

 > Yes, many languages do not destruct dynamically-allocated memory, nor
 automatically call parent constructors and destructors of inherited
 classes.  It is standard practice to explicitly call constructors and
 destructors whenever needed in those situations.  The most complex OOP
 patterns even have an explicit disposal system to handle interdependency
 and synchronization issues.
