Storing references in a vector is not possible. You can only store=20
pointers, or whole objects. The vector doesn't care about what you=20
store, it will make copies of it, whenever you insert something into it.=20
If you store pointers, only the pointer is copied.
Because the vector doesn't know what you store, it cannot call delete on=20
the stored objects, so you have to do it manually yourself.
