> Right. So put in a flag Object.Finalized, and check Object.Finalized
Oops, I knew I needed a cup of coffee.  Clearly that flag can't go in
Main_Object_Type because there is, in general, no way Finalize(Helper)
could know about all the Main_Object_Type's around and set their flags.
And it can't go in Helper_Object_Type unless you are willing to check
it by accessing Helper from Finalize(Main_Object_Type) after Helper has
been finalized.  So maybe the question becomes:  is it safe to access
simple things like booleans after they've been finalized/de-elaborated?
