A parser that does not delete what it has created is only minimally useful. If QvLib will not clean up after itself, I will be
forced (as will many others) to (1) add reference counting to QvLib, or (2) write my own parser library. Having a common
parser library helps maintain the integrity of VRML tools and lightens the burden for their creators. Having a common
parser library that cleans up after itself encourages tool-smiths to use that parser library.
A reference counting scheme would not add much complexity to QvLib and would actually make it useful. I hope this is the
path that QvLib is taking.
