-buildObjects is actually a NOP (nop-operation; it does nothing) for a
basic `Swarm'.  Only `GUISwarm' actually create objects via -buildObjects.
Thus, only ObserverSwarm GUISwarm subclasses *must* have the
[super buildObjects] call in their implementation of -buildObjects.

For subclass implementations of -buildObjects and -buildActions, there's
no reason not to call the superclass method.
