14  * QObject Reference Counts Terminology
15  * ------------------------------------
16  *
17  *  - Returning references: A function that returns an object may
18  *  return it as either a weak or a strong reference.  If the
19  *  reference is strong, you are responsible for calling
20  *  qobject_unref() on the reference when you are done.
21  *
22  *  If the reference is weak, the owner of the reference may free it at
23  *  any time in the future.  Before storing the reference anywhere, you
24  *  should call qobject_ref() to make the reference strong.
25  *
26  *  - Transferring ownership: when you transfer ownership of a reference
27  *  by calling a function, you are no longer responsible for calling
28  *  qobject_unref() when the reference is no longer needed.  In other words,
29  *  when the function returns you must behave as if the reference to the
30  *  passed object was weak.
