/** \class TObject
\ingroup Base
 
Mother of all ROOT objects.
 
The TObject class provides default behaviour and protocol for all
objects in the ROOT system. It provides protocol for object I/O,
error handling, sorting, inspection, printing, drawing, etc.
Every object which inherits from TObject can be stored in the
ROOT collection classes.
 
TObject's bits can be used as flags, bits 0 - 13 and 24-31 are
reserved as  global bits while bits 14 - 23 can be used in different
class hierarchies (watch out for overlaps).
 
   Note: Class inheriting directly or indirectly from TObject should not use
   `= default` for any of the constructors.
   The default implementation for a constructor can sometime do 'more' than we
   expect (and still being standard compliant).  On some platforms it will reset
   all the data member of the class including its base class's member before the
   actual execution of the base class constructor.
   `TObject`'s implementation of the `IsOnHeap` bit requires the memory occupied
   by `TObject::fUniqueID` to *not* be reset between the execution of `TObject::operator new`
   and the `TObject` constructor (Finding the magic pattern there is how we can determine
   that the object was allocated on the heap).

///
///  - Reservation of the corresponding space in the file by looking
///    in the TFree list of free blocks of the file.
///
///  - The buffer is written to the file.

///  Using the kOverwrite option a previous key with the same name is
///  overwritten. The previous key is deleted before writing the new object.
///  Using the kWriteDelete option a previous key with the same name is
///  deleted only after the new object has been written. This option
///  is safer than kOverwrite but it is slower.
///  NOTE: Neither kOverwrite nor kWriteDelete reduces the size of a TFile--
///  the space is simply freed up to be overwritten; in the case of a TTree,
///  it is more complicated. If one opens a TTree, appends some entries,
///  then writes it out, the behaviour is effectively the same. If, however,
///  one creates a new TTree and writes it out in this way,
///  only the metadata is replaced, effectively making the old data invisible
///  without deleting it. TTree::Delete() can be used to mark all disk space
///  occupied by a TTree as free before overwriting its metadata this way.
