procedure Last_Gasp_Destroy (Name : String);
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--  Name    - Name of some object, withing a directory, to be "deleted".
--
-- Forceably removes an object from a directory.  Use this as a last-resort
-- when you've tried everything else while trying to delete an object or a
-- set of objects.  This should normally only be used if you are consistently
-- getting VERSION_ERROR on a particular object.  This is probably the wrong
-- thing to do if you are getting "Key not found" errors.
--
--      **** DO NOT USE THIS CASUALLY. ****
--
-- This routine generates permanent garbage on the machine.  Use this only
-- as a last resort.  The object is removed from the directory and "dropped".
-- It is no longer findable or garbage collectable.
--
-- Before using this routine:
--
--  a) Have you tried Cmvc_Maintenance.Check_Consistency?
--
--  b) Have you tried Compilation.Set_Target_Key("*R1000", "$$.??'c(Library)");
--     (Note the '*', it turns off checking.)
--
--  c) Have you tried Repair_Directory on the containing World and all contained
--     Libraries in the world?
--
--  d) Have you tried Program_Library_Maintenance.Build?
--
--  e) Have you tried Cdb_Maintenance.Destroy?
--
--  f) Have you tried Repair_Cg_Attrs?
--
--  g) Have you tried Low_Level_Destroy?
--
-- If you use this routine:
--
--  a) Use the Uncode procedure first on all Coded units that must be
--     destroyed, so as to delete and eliminate CG attribute spaces if
--     at all possible.
--
--  b) Use the Uninstall procedure first, to delete semantic attribute spaces
--     if at all possible.
--
--  c) Use this routine.
--
--  d) Use Repair_Directory on the directory containing the destroyed objects.
--     It will print messages about cleaning up some things; this is expected.
--
--  e) Use Program_Library_Maintenance.Build to make sure that the program
--     library is functional.  "Verify" is not good enough; use "Build".
--
--  f) Use Cmvc_Maintenance.Check_Consistency if this is in a View.  Use it on
--     all views that import this view.
--
--  g) Take a full backup instead of an incremental next time around.
