Description
Extended objects have properties and functionality that exceed the capabilities of a standard `Object`. An implemented example is a list. Adding more extended objects is crucial to enable specific diagram types.
Pools and swimlanes in particular are useful in a variety of digrams.

You can find `extended objects` [here.](https://github.com/MerrimanInd/drawpyo/blob/main/src/drawpyo/diagram/extended_objects.py)

Research direction
Start in src/drawpyo/diagram/extended_objects.py, especially the existing list implementation, to understand how extended objects expose properties and functionality beyond standard objects. Add pool and swimlane objects suitable for the diagram types shown, and verify that they can be used to generate the intended diagrams.
