19 * This class marks classes, which require some work done for cleaning up.
20 * As a general policy you shouldn't call the {@link #dispose} method directly,
21 * but register your object to be chained with a parent disposable via {@link com.intellij.openapi.util.Disposer#register(Disposable, Disposable)}.
22 * If you're 100% sure that you should control disposion of your object manually,
23 * do not call the {@link #dispose} method either. Use {@link com.intellij.openapi.util.Disposer#dispose(Disposable)} instead, since
24 * there might be any object registered in chain.
