/** @class wxObjectRefData

    This class is just a typedef to wxRefCounter and is used by wxObject.

    Derive classes from this to store your own data in wxObject-derived
    classes. When retrieving information from a wxObject's reference data,
    you will need to cast to your own derived class.

    Below is an example illustrating how to store reference counted
    data in a class derived from wxObject including copy-on-write
    semantics.

        bool operator == ( const MyCar& car ) const;
        bool operator != (const MyCar& car) const { return !(*this == car); }

/**

    This is an helper template class primarily written to avoid memory leaks because
    of missing calls to wxRefCounter::DecRef() and wxObjectRefData::DecRef().

    Despite the name this template can actually be used as a smart pointer for any
    class implementing the reference counting interface which only consists of the two
    methods @b T::IncRef() and @b T::DecRef().

    The difference to wxSharedPtr<T> is that wxObjectDataPtr<T> relies on the reference
    counting to be in the class pointed to, where instead wxSharedPtr<T> implements the
    reference counting itself.
