Description Jürg Billeter 2008-01-29 19:15:21 UTC 
Add delete operator for pointer types, so that all pointer types can be freed without adding type-specific free/unref methods. This is also necessary to manually free arrays and instances of classes with automatically generated free functions (classes defined in Vala not deriving from GObject).
