TObjectList could (and IMHO should) be extended with support for manual 
reference counting if we decide to use an approach where reference 
counted and non-reference counted object variables are assignable to 
each other. In fact the methods I added to TObject for this (mainly 
ARCIsRefCounted, ARCIncRef and ARCDecRef) would already allow for this.
