Exceptions: Sometimes it is not possible to define a destructor inside
the class definition, because, e.g.:
 * it is pure virtual and cannot be defined at the point of declaration
 * the class has smart-pointer members of forward-declared types
In such cases, define the destructor out of line in the '.cpp' file.
