Barry, I'm working on getting petsc4py ready for our XXXDestroy
change. A quick question: Are the XXXDestroy_YYY functions of subtypes
going to change? I would ask you to NOT change them (it's harder for
you to implement, it's harder for me to provide backward
compatibility, IMHO there is not a compelling reason as these
destructors should not set the pointer to zero, etc.).
