Protect object definition from purge (for Modifiers)

Extensions

If we ever go one day to implementing modifiers, we would need a way to store the original objects (and possibly the intermediate steps) in the model, making sure they cannot be purged.

There was a request for preventing materials, components, layers to be purged, but I don’t think there has been any progress since then.

Workarounds like hiding, putting on a hidden tags are all creating side effects.

With all attention focused on the Shrinkwrap discussion, I almost missed this one.
To find out who at SketchUp we can ask the question about ‘Modifiers’.

Yes, resources need a retain= and retained? methods to safegaurd them from the purge.
