// Description:	CFArray-based list of aliases
//				Design goals:
//				- not to throw
//				- unique aliases (not to allow aliases pointing to the same object)
//				- load and save aliases to preferences file via CFPreferences
//				- access items (Add & Fetch) via FSRef
//				- the object does own the array and deletes it
