20/**
21 * here all the Pointers to all the Object of orxonox are stored, that implement BaseObject
22 * for now.
23 * You can get Any Object's Reference to BaseObject with dynamic_cast<T>(ClassList::getObject(name, CL_T_NAME));
24 *  where: T: is the Class to cast to,
25 *   name: the name of the Object (not className)
26 *   CL_T_NAME: the class Identifier, (if CL_NULL or nothing it will take longer, because all BaseObject's are searched through)
27 *
28 * There is also the exists-function, that just checks, if a Reference is still in existence.
