I've been troubleshooting some issues with Viasfora and noticed something that I definitely was not expecting:

It appears that if you implement an IClassifier extension, and also implement IDisposable, it will not be called by Visual Studio once the text buffer is released.

I have noticed this on Visual Studio 2013, but so far, I haven't fully verified if this is indeed the expected behavior, or if it is caused by something else I am doing. I do know of many other Visual Studio extensions that combine IClassifier with IDisposable, so if this turns out to be the default behavior, it could signal other extensions may be leaking resources.
