+    You may not access vcl objects after DeInitVCL has been called this includes their destruction
+    therefore disallowing the existence of static vcl object like e.g. a static BitmapEx
+    To work around this use DeleteOnDeinit<BitmapEx> which will allow you to have a static object container,
+    that will have its contents destroyed on DeinitVCL. The single drawback is that you need to check on the
+    container object whether it still contains content before actually accessing it.
+
+    caveat: when constructing a vcl object, you certainly want to ensure that InitVCL has run already.
+    However this is not necessarily the case when using a class static member or a file level static variable.
+    In these cases make judicious use of the set() method of DeleteOnDeinit, but beware of the changing
+    ownership.
+
+    example use case: use a lazy initialized on call BitmapEx in a paint method. Of course a paint method
+    would not normally be called after DeInitVCL anyway, so the check might not be necessary in a
+    Window::Paint implementation, but always checking is a good idea.
+
+    SomeWindow::Paint()
+    {
+        static vcl::DeleteOnDeinit< BitmapEx > aBmp( new BitmapEx( ... ) );
+
+        if( aBmp.get() ) // check whether DeInitVCL has been called already
+            DrawBitmapEx( Point( 10, 10 ), *aBmp );
