>>> class Schrodinger:
    def __init__(self):
        print("Init!")

>>> print(Schrodinger())
Init!
<__main__.Schrodinger object at 0x02B52570>

At this point, __del__ has indeed both been called and not been
called. However, observing its state will force it to collapse:

>>> class Schrodinger:
    def __init__(self):
        print("Init!")
    def __del__(self):
        print("Del!")

>>> print(Schrodinger())
Init!
<__main__.Schrodinger object at 0x02B52830>
Del!

If an object falls off the heap and there's no __del__ method to hear
it, does it call __del__?
