/**
 * <p>
 *   <code>NSObject</code> is the root class (a root class is
 *   a class with no superclass) of the GNUstep base library
 *   class hierarchy, so all classes normally inherit from
 *   <code>NSObject</code>.  There is an exception though:
 *   <code>NSProxy</code> (which is used for remote messaging)
 *   does not inherit from <code>NSObject</code>.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   Unless you are really sure of what you are doing, all
 *   your own classes should inherit (directly or indirectly)
 *   from <code>NSObject</code> (or in special cases from
 *   <code>NSProxy</code>).  <code>NSObject</code> provides
 *   the basic common functionality shared by all GNUstep
 *   classes and objects.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   The essential methods which must be implemented by all
 *   classes for their instances to be usable within GNUstep
 *   are declared in a separate protocol, which is the
 *   <code>NSObject</code> protocol.  Both
 *   <code>NSObject</code> and <code>NSProxy</code> conform to
 *   this protocol, which means all objects in a GNUstep
 *   application will conform to this protocol (btw, if you
 *   don't find a method of <code>NSObject</code> you are
 *   looking for in this documentation, make sure you also
 *   look into the documentation for the <code>NSObject</code>
 *   protocol).
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   Theoretically, in special cases you might need to
 *   implement a new root class.  If you do, you need to make
 *   sure that your root class conforms (at least) to the
 *   <code>NSObject</code> protocol, otherwise it will not
 *   interact correctly with the GNUstep framework.  Said
 *   that, I must note that I have never seen a case in which
 *   a new root class is needed.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   <code>NSObject</code> is a root class, which implies that
 *   instance methods of <code>NSObject</code> are treated in
 *   a special way by the Objective-C runtime.  This is an
 *   exception to the normal way messaging works with class
 *   and instance methods: if the Objective-C runtime can't
 *   find a class method for a class object, as a last resort
 *   it looks for an instance method of the root class with
 *   the same name, and executes it if it finds it.  This
 *   means that instance methods of the root class (such as
 *   <code>NSObject</code>) can be performed by class objects
 *   which inherit from that root class !  This can only
 *   happen if the class doesn't have a class method with the
 *   same name, otherwise that method - of course - takes the
 *   precedence.  Because of this exception,
 *   <code>NSObject</code>'s instance methods are written in
 *   such a way that they work both on <code>NSObject</code>'s
 *   instances and on class objects.
 * </p>

 *    NSObject *object = [[NSObject alloc] init];

 * <p>

 *   it might be handy for you to have a class method

 * <p>

 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   <code>NSObject</code>'s implementation of this method
 *   destroys the receiver, by returning the memory allocated
 *   to the receiver to the system.  After this method has been
 *   called on an instance, you must not refer the instance in
 *   any way, because it does not exist any longer.  If you do,
 *   it is a bug and your program might even crash with a
 *   segmentation fault.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   If you have turned on the debugging facilities for
 *   instance allocation, <code>NSObject</code>'s
 *   implementation of this method will also update the various
 *   counts and monitors of allocated instances (see the
 *   <code>GSDebugAllocation...</code> functions for more
 *   info).
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   Normally you are supposed to manage the memory taken by
 *   objects by using the high level interface provided by the
 *   <code>retain</code>, <code>release</code> and
 *   <code>autorelease</code> methods (or better by the
 *   corresponding macros <code>RETAIN</code>,
 *   <code>RELEASE</code> and <code>AUTORELEASE</code>), and by
 *   autorelease pools and such; whenever the
 *   release/autorelease mechanism determines that an object is
 *   no longer needed (which happens when its retain count
 *   reaches 0), it will call the <code>dealloc</code> method
 *   to actually deallocate the object.  This means that normally,
 *   you should not need to call <code>dealloc</code> directly as
 *   the gnustep base library automatically calls it for you when
 *   the retain count of an object reaches 0.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   Because the <code>dealloc</code> method will be called
 *   when an instance is being destroyed, if instances of your
 *   subclass use objects or resources (as it happens for most
 *   useful classes), you must override <code>dealloc</code> in
 *   subclasses to release all objects and resources which are
 *   used by the instance, otherwise these objects and
 *   resources would be leaked.  In the subclass
 *   implementation, you should first release all your subclass
 *   specific objects and resources, and then invoke super's
 *   implementation (which will do the same, and so on up in
 *   the class hierarchy to <code>NSObject</code>'s
 *   implementation, which finally destroys the object).  Here
 *   is an example of the implementation of
 *   <code>dealloc</code> for a subclass whose instances have a
 *   single instance variable <code>name</code> which needs to
 *   be released when an instance is deallocated:
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   <code>
 *   - (void) dealloc
 *   {
 *     RELEASE (name);
 *     [super dealloc];
 *   }
 *   </code>
 *  </p>
 *  <p>
 *    <code>dealloc</code> might contain code to release not
 *    only objects, but also other resources, such as open
 *    files, network connections, raw memory allocated in other
 *    ways, etc.
 *  </p>
 * <p>
 *   If you have allocated the memory using a non-standard mechanism, you
 *   will not call the superclass (NSObject) implementation of the method
 *   as you will need to handle the deallocation specially.<br />
 *   In some circumstances, an object may wish to prevent itself from
 *   being deallocated, it can do this simply be refraining from calling
 *   the superclass implementation.
