In #1037 a question came up about the exact wording around the introduction of the destructors chapter which says
The PR author interpreted the phrase dropped meaning a synonym for running the destructor. But I read it as two separate concepts:
I don't think "dropping" and "running destructors" can be used interchangeably because not all values have a destructor. However, I am uncertain if that is correct, or if that is the best way to document these concepts. Either way, it would be good to clarify that a little.
