This whole discussion is close to my heart. I've got a
similar horrible situation where I've got a factory that produce
objects that have 3D coordinates and these are passed around, may have
their coordinates updated, and may end up get fed to a genetic
optimiser, which may replicate the object (possibly many times) for
the next generation. I've had to clone the objects which isn't
pleasant. It's so easy with numbers/records and so messy with objects ...
It's made me want to move to a language that has proper, transparent
garbage collection. Anyone remember Lisp?

Time to go out into the sunshine and forget about memory management
:-) It's a glorious afternoon in Palmerston North - contrary to
popular belief, we do have them ...
