TObject is the base class, it inherits from nobody. To make the whole
weel run a base class must exists which provide basic functionality
like Create/Destroy and other methods/events like "ClassName",
"InheritsFrom"; so if no class is specified it automatically inherits
from TObject.

Pure class in the same idea does not exists in Pascal as in C, or at
least they do not exists a few time ago.
