As I see it, the differences between Mac objects and GPC objects are:

If memory serves, Delphi object are 'references' and not pointers. This may be semantics.
I think reference means the same as pointers with automatic de-/referencing (i.e. 3.+4.). (Quite the same as standard reference (`var') parameters, BTW.)
