On Inspector Dispose Attribute
The OnInspectorDispose attribute takes in an action string as an argument (typically the name of a method to be invoked, or an expression to be executed), and executes that action when the property's drawers are disposed in the inspector.
Disposing will happen at least once, when the inspector changes selection or the property tree is collected by the garbage collector, but may also happen several times before that, most often when the type of a polymorphic property changes and it refreshes its drawer setup and recreates all its children, disposing of the old setup and children.
