Description

This is unclear. The lifetime ends when a destructor's call start, not the other way around, but this is just a wording bug. It is not specified when such invocations are generated.

Research direction

Start by reading the [intro.execution] wording discussed in the issue and compare how it describes destructor invocation and object lifetime. Done means the draft clearly specifies when these invocations are generated and no longer reverses the relationship between lifetime end and destructor-call start.
