Hi Maciej,

just a trivial observation. I hope to have cleverer ones when I'll
dedicate to this the time it deserves:

If the code is factored as is this worries me a lot, because with most
implementations you are likely to have a throw during destruction.

Me too. So consider me at your disposal - in a few days as well :-)

Genny.
