Instead, we could add Ref and Unref into ObjectBase, and then eventually
renaming ObjectBase to RefCountedBase?  There is no problem with Object
inheriting from this class too (as it does now), because it would just
reimplement Ref and Unref with its own implementation, provided we make the
ObjectBase::Ref and Unref methods virtual.
