Free Pascal object model is very flexible. If I'm not mistaken, it's 
compatible with Delphi so it has the same construction mechanism so it's 
possible to override InstanceSize, InitInstance, NewInstance and 
FreeInstance.

There is also a reference counting hooks for interfaces. Combining all these 
facilities, it's possible to create a parallel hierarchies of objects that 
use reference count or garbage collection.
