Description Denis Shelomovskii 2012-12-10 11:17:49 UTC 
We already have `emplace` to create an object but there is not function to destroy the object. Yes, we have `destroy` but it is "to reclaim non-memory resources without compromising memory safety" (as Andrei said).

So I'd like to have a `destuct` function destroying its argument just like as if it goes out of scope and, optionally, resetting object memory to it's initial state.

The function is implemented here:

Also note, as we have no such function currently one can easily consider that `destroy` is such function and use it thinking it works this way. And it is very dangerous, see Issue 9139 for details.
