Sorry, I misspoke — I got it mixed up with termination for using too much 
memory.

If the app gets quit in the background it does get notified that it’s quitting 
and can clean up. But the singleton isn’t going to be dealloced. Not unless the 
Obj-C runtime has an on-termination task that nils out static strong object 
references, which seems like a silly thing to do because all it does is delay 
the process’s exit.

(C++ static destructors _do_ run on termination, but generally one tries to 
avoid having those, because they’re usually useless. There’s even a compiler 
warning for them.)
