      freed automatically. To avoid this, call this function.

      the exception after all, call @link(ReleaseExceptionObject).
      Otherwise, if the reference count is > 0, the exception object 
      goes into your "property" and you need to free it manually.
      The effect of this function is countered by re-raising an exception
      via "raise;", this zeroes the reference count again.
      Calling this method is only valid within an except block.

      to decrease the exception reference count again.

      goes into your "property" and you need to free it manually.
