         GObject's memory management model was designed to be easily integrated in existing code
         using garbage collection. This is why the destruction process is split in two phases:
         the first phase, executed in the dispose handler is supposed to release all references
         to other member objects. The second phase, executed by the finalize handler is supposed
         to complete the object's destruction process. Object methods should be able to run
