This is done manually (by having all your objects inherit from TObject
somewhere). Or maybe you mean we could do this:

var
   C: class;
begin
   C:=TView.Create;	(* I don't really remember how you do that
			   with Delphi... *)
end;

"class" being a sort of "automagical" empty ancestor object. In the
example, C could have contained ANY objects, not just TObject descendents,
but you'd have no way to destroy them (since they don't have any method,
constructors or destructors at all).
