Don't worry, the validity of the hot bunny's statement is completely

You're right, of course, but I always qualify that my assertion:
"Right now, in the year [year of assertion], on Microsoft Windows OS's
and very likely others, making destructor virtual solves the inter-
module new/delete, DLL/EXE, heap-mismatch problem."
Each time I discuss this statement with fellow engineers, I muse
serendipitously about its possible reasons until I arrived at the
conclusion that, though it is conceivable that the implementation
might be otherwise, it is most-likely not, as the way it is makes much
more sense to compiler-writer, all things considered.
