// Class Object
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  Any OPAL command object which may be generated by parsing a command or
//  definition.
//  All known Objects are referred to via [b]Pointer<Object>[/b] to
//  make memory management easy.  For this purpose, the class Object is
//  derived from the abstract class RCObject.
//
//  Objects are linked by name to the OPAL directory, which resides in
//  the global object [b]OpalData[/b].  Each Object has a pointer pointing
//  to its parent object.  This may be an exemplar object, or a previously
//  generated command or definition object.  This mechanism allows to find
//  easily whether an Object belongs to a given class (see isTreeMember()).
