Every time discussion about __del__ had come up I had thought to myself,
"yeah, but I'm being careful to not have reference loops -- /my/ classes
are okay."
and then...
BITE!
But hey, it wasn't a reference loop that got me, it was data being
written back to disk after the disk portion had changed, thus clobbering
new data with old.
Yeah, I know, that's not really any better.
*sigh*
Okay, no more __del__ for me!

Knowledge is knowing that tomatoes are a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting them in a fruit salad.
