           Summary: Add a finalize method for arrays

Since dynamic arrays don't call the DTor of their elements (thanks to the silly

https://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=12256) I suggest to add a
finalize method to object.d. Something like:

----
void finalize(T)(T[] slice) {
    static if(is(T == struct) || is(T == class)) {
        foreach (ref T value; slice) {
            .destroy!(T)(value);
        }
    }

    slice = null; // or: destroy(slice);
}
----

Or we extend the related destroy method with the static if.
