The problem actualy is not in automated destructors, 
but in that the Class
types are actually pointers in Delphi OO model. That 
IS the hack, that makes some
tasty stuff impossible (RAII) or unconvinient 
(programmer has not to forget destructor).
Just have a look at "classes" and "pointers to 
classes" in C  . The problem is that
we have no similiar functionality for first ones in 
Pascal. That what i exactly meant
in my first post.
