I guess that's the ideal situation. Currently the language doesn't stop
me from creating other memory leaks like not freeing a TStringList or
other object instance. Using pointers can easily cause memory leaks too.
No language features to prevent those - and we all seem to get along ok. :)

Please remind me of the message thread so I can recap. I'm part of a lot
of discussions per day, so can't remember the details of them all.
