To my knowledge an object is always created in the heap, never on the

are immediately released, which makes them immediate candidates for
garbage collection; instead of having numerous physically different
instances in memory, all of them being logically equivalent.
Does that make sense?
Right! I'm confusing the stack with the heap space reserved for the
young, short-lived objects... I'll correct in a moment.
Thanks for the review!
