Interesting question.  Perhaps if the destructor is to act on an element in
a linked list or other repetitive structure, one might wish to tell it to
(or not to) act likewise on any other elements in the structure which share a
particular characteristic... or on the next/previous n elements, or on every
nth element...

As my c++ is minimal (and rusty to boot), I'm not sure just how this would be
implemented; I await further postings with interest.
