/**
* This interface is implemented by Commands that need to know when
* they are deleted from an interpreter. Most commands do not need
* to know when they are deleted in Java because Java will garbage
* collect any allocations made by the command. However, sometimes
* a command may hold onto resources that must be explicitly released.
* This interface allows those commands to be notified when they are
* being deleted from the interpreter.
