Memory Management

[Marcus G. Daniels]

MR> Unlike NeXT's implementation, Swarm does not use the retain/release cycle. 

Swarm has no reference counting or garbage collection.
Swarm uses the Zone class to keep track of objects.

MR> Instead, as far as I can tell, there is no way to track how many objects
MR> refence another. 

However, a Zone has a population list, and from this information one
can determine what objects reference other objects.
