i doubt that. the purpose of ::destroy is to break inter-object links
nowadays, which is also why it can be emitted multiple times on objects and
has nothing to do with the object going dead anymore.
for non-GUI objects, proper ref-counting (without floating-hassle) usually
gets you what you want, what do you need explicit destroy_this_object()
fucntions for?
