[Engine/conveyor example of why you need acces to postfinalized objects]

Why can't you model the engine as an object that is not itself finalized, but
is updated by the finalizer?  That fits better with my intuition; the
engine/conveyor is still needed, and should not be finalized.  A finalizer may
affect its state.

(This probably isn't a great example for GC-based finalization, but I think
that wasn't the issue here.)
