[vtkusers] Does the vtk Delete methods recursively delete?

[Veerapuram Varadhan]

Hi Benjamin,

No need to iterate though the prop collection, the delete() of vtkAssembly
object will essentially call delete() of each of the actors added to it.

It is a common funtionality of all Delete() in all the vtk classes.
