The "disposeAndNil()" Function

As its name suggests, this function provides a convenient way of disposing of an object and nil-ing the reference to it, For example:

disposeAndNil(AnObject);

This is equivalent to the following code:

if assigned(AnObject) and (AnObject is IDisposable) then
    AnObject.Dispose;
  AnObject := nil;
