 * When the destructor is called, the parent references to the object will
 * have already been discarded but all children references will be intact
 * and none of the children will have been freed.  There is no need to use
 * a destructor to unreference or free children, that is automatic.

 * freed, and the destructor may return a value which will be the return
 * value of nih_free() or nih_discard() if used directly on the object.
