In chapter 14 (Programming with C++) of the programming guide it says:

"All objects of classes derived from pfObject or pfMemory are reference
counted and must be deleted using pfDelete() rather than the delete operator."

Suppose a new class 'A' is derived from pfObject. A destructor is defined for
this class A. Should pfDelete be used to delete an instance of A since it is
also a pfObject? What happens to the destructor of A then?
