Object structs should only be destroyed when their resource is destroyed, ie. Object structs should only be destroyed when their resource is destroyed, ie.
in the resource destroy handler (set with `wl_resource_set_implementation`). in the resource destroy handler (set with `wl_resource_set_implementation`).
Destructor requests should only call `wl_resource_destroy`.
The compositor should not destroy resources on its own. - If the object has a destructor request: the request handler should just call
`wl_resource_destroy` and do nothing else. The compositor must not destroy
resources on its own outside the destructor request handler.
- If the protocol specifies that an object is destroyed when an event is sent:
it's the only case where the compositor is allowed to send the event and then
call `wl_resource_destroy`. An example of this is `wl_callback`.
