the point was to call .Free on an object that might not have been 
initialized, not what Free ( or destroy, for the matter) would 
eventually call _after_, so it _is_ safe.

I guess (well, I just don't remember exactly) Free is safe because it is 
a class method, hence it _can_ be called on a non initialized object; 
and therefore can test the object instance against Nil and act consequently.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this... ;-)
