For now just inline it and make it stick out really badly. Long-term
we need to unbundle the teardown sequence. But imo doing that before
we've sorted out all the lifetime stuff is no much use. And the
lifetime rework needs a reworked init sequence first imo, or at least
for end users we care much more about solid loading than solid
unloading (there's udl ofc, but meh ...).
