* 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.
* overloading wxVariant with unnecessary functionality.
