[RefCounted]s therefore do not need to be freed manually with [method Object.free]. In the vast majority of use cases, instantiating and using [RefCounted]-derived types is all you need to do. The methods provided in this class are only for advanced users, and can cause issues if misused. - [b]Note:[/b] In C#, references will not be freed instantly after they are no longer in use.
