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