It would be nice if we can destroy timeline gracefully.

Timeline.terminate()

I am using svg.js to create a math tutorial web blog. It does the job nicely. Just one thing though..

Suppose that we have a script that uses svg.js, consider these conditions:

  1. The script uses a lot of persisting Runners (to make animations revertible).
  2. The script needs to replace and re-populate Timelines with those Runners.

For some reasons, javascript does not clean up Timelines properly and leaves a lot of occupying memory footprints.
I have been cleaning up Runners in Timelines manually. But it would be nice if you make an official support for this feature.

So instead of using this:

timeline._runners = [];

It would be nice if we can

timeline.terminate();

I will be happy if you could consider my request. Thank you in advance.
