The garbage collector handles everything for the built-in MrEd classes.

Certain Framework classes need "finalization" (e.g., to remove a frame
from a frame group), and it's possible to define a new class that needs
finalization (e.g., if an object opens an I/O port). The collector
certainly takes care of memory management, though, for all classes.
