Hm, i think full language support for factories and related patterns are oo tricks that we should provide. At least i *very* much hope we do.
I don't see any correlation between factories and design patterns and allowing destructors to have access modifiers. Java doesn't even have destructors :)
Anyway, as I mentioned before, destructors shouldn't have access modifiers (like methods in interfaces). So what you are saying is that today we can make destructors private/protected? If so we need to fix it.
Andi
Sometimes it is necessary to explicitly destruct an object and bla bla.... Btw. have a look at tests/classes/destructor_and_globals.phpt and make the destuctor protected or private with and without my patch. Beides that the situation is somekind of a more 'funny' problem we should fix it sometime.
