* A thread which invokes the "destruct" routine for objects after they have been garbage collected.

An object which needs to be destructed should create a static subclass of {@link Destructor}.

* Destructor#destruct()} method.

The underlying thread in DestructorThread starts when the first Destructor is constructed and
