[vtkusers] Memory mangement in vtk

[Alex Malyushytskyy]

I am not a developer, but personally I doubt there are any plans and if any
they mostly likely would not affect api and will be limited to internal
changes.

I remember reading a good explanation of VTK design choice in one of the
books I've bought available on VTK website
which I would recommend for VTK beginner reading.

Never used ITK, but AFAIK implementation of some features there might be
different ( for example smart pointers)
