Probably I am missing something here, but I think "this is the reason 
the library does not _call_ the deinit function but only provides it so
the main thread can release all resources" would also make sense.

I would really appreciate this functionality (valgrind, etc...).

If you do not want to merge this functionality, how about adding it to 
the library in a contrib directory?

cheers,
