While this is not a feature per se, it fixes a major annoyance that users have had with pointers to freed objects unexpectedly being re-assigned to new objects, causing hard-to-debug issues. this bug was fixed with a more comprehensive approach which prevents dangling Variant pointers in both release and debug builds. Other changes.

Such pointer could be reported as valid even though the memory it points to was not, or worse, that memory could now hold a different object, leading to hard to debug situations.

The engine should be able to render and simulate 200+ lightweight game objects -- frame-animated sprites with simple collision, no fancy physics or shaders. I can easily throw ~200 sprites (that all share the same spritesheet) on the screen with basic overlap / collision tests at 720p resolution at a steady 30 FPS. and no WASM.)
