If the reference counting from vtkObject were abstracted out into
vtkReferenceCountedObject and vtkObject is a subclass of
vtkReferenceCountedObject then things might be clearer.  Here are more
possibilities.

vtkReferenceCountedThing, vtkReferenceCountedObject,
vtkReferenceCountedObj

vtkGCObject, vtkGCObj

Why not drop the vtk prefix?

 ReferenceCountedObject, RefCountObj,  GCObject, GCObj.
