  * @short Base class for all garbage collected objects.

  * This class simply adds a reference counter and deletes the object
  * if it was created dynamically and the reference count drops to 0.
  * <p>
  * An instance is created dynamically if it was created with
  * the new operator.
  * <em>Please note:</em>
  * The reference count starts with a reference count, that means no
  * garbage collection activated.
