   We do _not_ declare this function as doing this would force us to specialize
   it for the user classes deriving from the standard persistent classes.
   However we do define overloads of wxCreatePersistentObject() for all the wx
   classes which means that template wxPersistentObject::Restore() picks up the
   right overload to use provided that the header defining the correct overload
   is included before calling it. And a compilation error happens if this is
   not done.
