The intention of AggregateObject/GetObject is to provide a COM-like
interface introspection mechanism.  These methods used to be called
AddInterface/QueryInterface, but some developers had the (unfortunate imho)
idea of changing the names.

If you want generic object aggregation I may suggest a simple std::list<
Ptr<Object> > member variable in your class.
