__del__() bad practice?

[richard-webb-dev]

Note: current issues may be caused by implementing del() on the classes. This prevents the GC from collecting classes in the case of cyclical references.

del() isn't a nice way of backing up a save(), but I'm inclined to believe it's better than nothing for lazy developers. Perhaps I could implement a diff function and raise a warning when the current state in del() doesn't match the redis state, allowing tracing down of areas where save() isn't being called when it should.

This is part of greater logging that is required.

By using initialisations of objects when required, the del operation shouldn't be required. Kept open for reference as they still need to be deleted.
