As for reference counting - that just means that as soon as the
reference count for an Interfaces reaches zero, it gets automatically
freed?
yes, though you have to pay much attention to memory leaks and
possible problems when dealing a lot with interfaces, memory leaks
should be monitored closely.
An special attention with circular references, ie, one interface whose
instance holds a reference to another interface whose instance ... holds
a reference to the first one. The result is an island of leaked objects.
There are afaik three ways to solve this problem: garbage collection, an
algorithm to detect the island or one weak reference in order to break
the chain.
