          Issue ID: 13059
           Summary: Delete uses destructor rather than the delete operator
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: DMD

Currently, if you define a destructor on a struct, allocate an instance of that 
struct on the heap, and then attempt to use the delete keyword to destroy and 
then free the memory, it will instead only call the destructor, just as-if you 
had defined a delete operator, this is not mentioned in the spec, and was only 
noticed because it caused double finalization when I added support to the GC 
for calling struct's destructors.
