ost::RefObject::RefObject()[inline],[protected]
       The constructor simply initializes the count.

   virtualost::RefObject::~RefObject()[protected],[virtual]
       The destructor is called when the reference count returns to zero. This is done through a virtual
       destructor.

       A reference countable object.

       This is used in association with smart pointers (RefPointer).

virtualvoid*ost::RefObject::getObject(void)[purevirtual]
       The actual object being managed can be returned by this method as a void and then recast to the actual
       type. This removes the need to dynamic cast from RefObject and the dependence on rtti this implies.

           underlying object being referenced.
