/*
 * wxVariantData stores the actual data in a wxVariant object,
 * to allow it to store any type of data.
 * Derive from this to provide custom data handling.
 *
 * NB: When you construct a wxVariantData, it will have refcount
 *     of one. Refcount will not be further increased when
 *     it is passed to wxVariant. This simulates old common
 *     scenario where wxVariant took ownership of wxVariantData
 *     passed to it.
 *     If you create wxVariantData for other reasons than passing
 *     it to wxVariant, technically you are not required to call
 *     DecRef() before deleting it.
 *
 * TODO: in order to replace wxPropertyValue, we would need
 * to consider adding constructors that take pointers to C++ variables,
 * or removing that functionality from the wxProperty library.
 * Essentially wxPropertyValue takes on some of the wxValidator functionality
 * by storing pointers and not just actual values, allowing update of C++ data
 * to be handled automatically. Perhaps there's another way of doing this without
 * overloading wxVariant with unnecessary functionality.
