Description
At present PathFiller depends on finalizer to dispose native memory. This 
causes it to depend on GC in turn, which is becoming a overhead.  In some scenario, finalizers were slower in action to dispose the native memory, causing
an impression of memory leak to the end user.   Disposer mechnism takes a good care in disposing the native memory. Hence it's advisable to implement disposer
mechanism to PathFiller.
