  Oh, that call always deallocated all global variables used by libxml2
except that some things which were forgotten in the past are now more
throroughtly cleaned up. Things like entity definitions for predefined
entities of XML have always been cleaned up that way for example,
  Calling it while the library or its data were still in use has always
been a dangerous thing to do, then it's a matter of luck...
