74 Provides a way to get what amounts to a raw pointer from a wxCFRef without
75 using a raw pointer. Unlike a raw pointer, constructing a wxCFRef from this
76 class will cause it to be retained because it is assumed that a wxCFWeakRef
77 does not own its pointer.

173 @discussion Like shared_ptr, it is assumed that the caller has a strong reference to p and intends
174 to transfer ownership of that reference to this ref holder. If the object comes from
175 a Create or Copy method then this is the correct behaviour. If the object comes from
176 a Get method then you must CFRetain it yourself before passing it to this constructor.
177 A handy way to do this is to use the non-member wxCFRefFromGet factory funcion.

347 @discussion This is intended to be a clever way to make static_cast work while allowing
348 the return value to be converted to either a strong ref or a raw pointer
349 while ensuring that the retain count is updated appropriately.
351 This is modeled after shared_ptr's static_pointer_cast. Just as wxCFRef is
352 parameterized on a pointer to an opaque type so is this class. Note that
353 this differs from shared_ptr which is parameterized on the pointee type.
