Finalize did get some nice matches.  Does finalize get called right away, or
only when squeak does the GC?  And if so, am I guaranteed that it'll be GCed
that moment?

The thing is.. I'm leaving behind lots open postgres connections which would
be nicely closed with a "destructor", and right now I don't know how to
automatically close (maybe you cant?) when it should (the sooner the
better). Obviously, postgres complains quite loudly when you have too many
open, and things suddely get very ugly.

Ah well.. at least I can add the closes by hand :/  but that means leaks
and sort of rules out to have decent db connection pools in any way I can
think of.. so I must be missing something.
