As I see it, the differences between Mac objects and GPC objects are:
1. methods are always virtual 2. objects are created/destroyed with New/Dispose 3. objects are implicitly pointers 4. fields are implicitly dereferenced 5. there are no (user) contructors/destructors

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.)
