Hi,

Does anyone have any insight into what happens if a program uses the value =
of an object after it has been finalized, but before it ceases to exist?  I=
t would seem like a bounded error to do so, but there doesn't seem to be an=
y guidance one way or the other on the matter in the LRM.  Clearly it's wou=
ldn't be judicious to do so, but nothing seems to prevent it or even discou=
rage it.  Is such a program still legal?
