/* The Object class is a minimal (but fully functional) root class
   included with the runtime.

   It is mostly for testing the runtime; very handy in configure
   tests, and when writing language/runtime testcases.

   Because Objective-C allows multiple root classes, a Foundation
   library (such as GNUstep Base) is expected to provide its own root
   class (typically called NSObject), fully integrated with the
   library's own high-level features.  If you are using such a
   Foundation library, you should most likely use its root class for
   everything and ignore Object.
