For the wrapper class, or for the resource thing that you pass to the
flat API?

I believe SWIG sets a destructor to run on the resource, but I guess PHP
doesn't call it (I notice simpleindex.php explicitly sets the database
to Null).

If it doesn't, we can easily generate a destructor to explicitly set the
swig_ptr to Null.  Assuming PHP always runs object destructors which
I'd really hope it does...
