    <para>         
      I should be a descriptor given by gf_mesh(),
      gf_mesh_im(), gf_slice() etc.
      
      Note that if another object uses I, then object I will be deleted only
      when both have been asked for deletion.
      
      Only objects listed in the output of gf_workspace('stats') can be
      deleted (for example gf_fem objects cannot be destroyed).
      
      You may also use gf_workspace('clear all') to erase everything at
      once.
