I initially wrote that exactly, but ended up deciding against as it
changes the locking more than strictly necessary. On the other hand, I
think this looks better, so if everyone agrees I'll take that.

I'm still keen on factoring the destroy calls in the calling function.
Is there any reason why we wouldn't do it?
