	/**
	 * Creates an <code>ObjectPool</code> for maintaining instances of the given class <code>oObjectClass</code>.
	 *
	 * <code>oObjectClass</code> must implement the {@link sap.ui.base.Poolable} interface.
	 *
	 * @param {function(new:Object)} oObjectClass Constructor for the class of objects that this pool should manage
	 *
	 * @class Manages a pool of objects for reuse, all of the same type;
	 * the type has to be specified at construction time.
	 *
	 * Each pool maintains a list of free objects of the given type.
	 * If {@link sap.ui.base.ObjectPool.prototype.borrowObject} is called, an existing free object
	 * is taken from the pool. When no free object is available, a new instance is created by calling
	 * the constructor without any arguments. In either case, the {@link sap.ui.base.Poolable#init}
	 * method is called on the object to initialize it with the data for the current caller.
	 *
	 * When the object is no longer needed, it has to be returned to the pool by calling {@link #returnObject}.
	 * At that point in time, {@link sap.ui.base.Poolable#reset} is called on the object to remove all data
	 * from it. Then it is is added back to the list of free objects for future reuse.
	 *
	 * See {@link sap.ui.base.Poolable} for a description of the contract for poolable objects.
	 *
	 * Example:
	 * <pre>
	 *   sap.ui.define([
	 *     "sap/ui/base/Event",
	 *     "sap/ui/base/ObjectPool"
	 *   ], function(Event, ObjectPool) {
	 *
	 *     // create a pool for events
	 *     var oEventPool = new ObjectPool(Event);
	 *
	 *     ...
	 *
	 *     // borrow an instance and initialize it at the same time
	 *     var oEvent = oEventPool.borrowObject('myEvent', this, {foo: 'bar'});
	 *     // this internally calls oEvent.init('myEvent', this, {foo: 'bar'})
	 *
	 *     // return the borrowed object
	 *     oEventPool.returnObject(oEvent);
	 *     // this internally calls oEvent.reset()
	 *
	 *     ...
	 *
	 *   }});
	 * </pre>
	 *
