Yes, but this is a mostly theoretical concern.  Of the 10 or so context 
tools in the WM distro, only 1 had a non-empty destroy() method, and that 
one was only needed to recycle a Context, which is no longer needed as 
these are now garbage collected.  So in the odd case you talk about, use 
finalizers, but so far, none have needed to.
