+Should this be __del__? The existing __del__ is certainly wrong with\r
+this change, since it only closes the database and doesn't free it. I\r
+think this function is exactly what you want __del__ to be now.\r
+\r
+(I think it also doesn't make sense to expose notmuch_database_destroy\r
+as a general, public method since it will free all of the other C\r
+objects out from under the bindings, resulting in exactly the double\r
+free-type crashes that you're trying to avoid. It appears that none\r
+of the other Python classes have a destroy method.)\r
