Research direction

Start by reading the linked softbuffer issue and inspecting how tiny-xlib opens and releases the Xlib library. Check whether using ctor_lite::dtor! is appropriate for cleanup, and verify that the library is dropped without a memory leak when the process or relevant scope ends.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

See https://github.com/rust-windowing/softbuffer/issues/252

Probably best to just use ctor_lite::dtor! to drop the library.
