Since the compiler and library are written together, the former can pass that information to the facility by private ("magic") means. However, this may be trickier to implement if the destructor of another class intervenes.

Right. The "good old" "let's have multiple destructors, and give them
parameters that tell them who's who". That doesn't compose,
so the conclusion is to desperately pretend that we don't need composition.

Nothing good comes out of that.

This.
