Hi @jensmaurer, thanks for the review! My PR (commit 2dd3f2e) already changes the wording to match the preceding sentence: 'Destroying an object of scalar type has no effect other than ending the lifetime of the object.'

Please let me know if you'd like a different phrasing or if I should make any other adjustments. Happy to address any further feedback.

Destroying an array destroys each element in reverse subscript order.
