    @file ObjectList.h
    @brief Definition and implementation of the ObjectList class.

    The ObjectList is a double-linked list, used by Identifiers to store all objects of a given class.
    Newly created objects are added through the RegisterObject-macro in its constructor.
    Use Iterator<class> to iterate through all objects of the class.
