I was under the impression that any object that is initialize'd or
adjust'ed _will_ always get finalize'd. However, some objects may
(potentially) get finalize'd more than once and/or get finalize'd
without ever being initialize'd or adjust'ed.
I have reference counting that depends on this behavior.
Am I safe? Lawyers? Compiler writers?
