An object needing finalization

It is recommended to sub-class Finalizable only on simple objects directly managing a limited resource. This use case is common when wrapping an extern instance with a standard object.

	# to use attributes of this instances, unless theses attributes are finalizable as well
	# because they may have been finalized already.
