%%% Note, that the destroy function is meant to be called within a
%%% transaction called in the destroy function of an object which
%%% inherits from IRObject. An IRObject should only be destroyed by
%%% destroying the object that inherits from an IRObject. An attempt
%%% to call this function in user code will result in unpredictable
%%% results.

%%% Don't type check the object reference. We need to be able to
%%% handle several types of objects that inherit from IRObject.
