 The fact that the destructor is non virtual looks like a bug to me. This
 was introduced in 2005, rev ef3fe4a826ebc31afbbb4c781dd3d9e504f360f1, with
 a commit log message "dll support introduced". It sounds like it has
 connection with the visibility of the destructors across dll/so
 boundaries, maybe for some broken compiler.

 I am in favor of removing this workaround.
