+ wxScopedCharTypeBuffer<T> is a template class for storing characters.
+
+ Data are stored in reference-counted buffer. In other words, making a copy
+ of wxScopedCharTypeBuffer<T> will @em not make another copy of the stored
+ string data, it will still point to the same location in memory.
+
+ wxScopedCharTypeBuffer<T> supports two storage modes: owned and non-owned.
+ "Owned" data buffer (created with CreateOwned() or wxCharTypeBuffer<T>
+ derived class) owns the data and frees them when the last buffer pointing
+ to them is destroyed.
+
+ "Non-owned" buffer (created with CreateNonOwned()), on the other hand,
+ references data owned by somebody else -- typical use is by
+ wxString::mb_str() or wxString::wc_str(), which may return non-owned buffer
+ pointing to wxString's internal store.
+
+ Because of this, the validity of data stored in wxScopedCharTypeBuffer<T>
+ is limited by the lifetime of the "parent" object that created the
+ buffer (e.g. the wxString on which mb_str() was called).
+
+ If you need to preserve the data for longer, assign it to
+ wxCharTypeBuffer<T> instead of wxScopedCharTypeBuffer<T>. On the other
+ hand, use wxScopedCharTypeBuffer<T> if the buffer is to be destroyed before
+ the "parent" object -- typical use would be creating it on the stack and
+ destroying when it goes out of scope (hence the class' name).
+
+ @tparam T
+ The type of the characters stored in this class.
