Description
I've came across a big problem with the internal design of druid related to app closing. The library does not provide ANY way to run cleanup code before exiting the main loop. That is cleanup which is a NECESSITY for the `AppDelegate` to properly close because my `AppDelegate` contains a handle to a networking thread which MUST be messaged and joint when the app terminates.
I've tried overriding the `command` function but the QUIT command is never received... I've also tried adding a Drop implementation to my App Delegate but it's also not called.
Can an API be provided to allow calling a cleanup function in `AppDelegate` before exiting the main loop?

Research direction
Start by tracing the main loop and its handling of the QUIT command, then compare that lifecycle with AppDelegate's Drop implementation and command function. Determine where an AppDelegate cleanup callback could run before the loop exits. Done means the cleanup function is invoked reliably during application shutdown.
