+// ScopedTypeRef<> is patterned after scoped_ptr<>, but maintains a ownership
+// of a reference to any type that is maintained by Retain and Release methods.
+//
+// The Traits structure must provide the Retain and Release methods for type T.
+// A default ScopedTypeRefTraits is used but not defined, and should be defined
+// for each type to use this interface. For example, an appropriate definition
+// of ScopedTypeRefTraits for CGLContextObj would be:
+//
+//   template<>
+//   struct ScopedTypeRefTraits<CGLContextObj> {
+//     void Retain(CGLContextObj object) { CGLContextRetain(object); }
+//     void Release(CGLContextObj object) { CGLContextRelease(object); }
+//   };
+//
+// For the many types that have pass-by-pointer create functions, the function
+// InitializeInto() is provided to allow direct initialization and assumption
+// of ownership of the object. For example, continuing to use the above
+// CGLContextObj specialization:
+//
+//   base::ScopedTypeRef<CGLContextObj> context;
+//   CGLCreateContext(pixel_format, share_group, context.InitializeInto());

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes thank you

+//
+// For initialization with an existing object, the caller may specify whether
+// the ScopedTypeRef<> being initialized is assuming the caller's existing
+// ownership of the object (and should not call Retain in initialization) or if
+// it should not assume this ownership and must create its own (by calling
+// Retain in initialization). This behavior is based on the |policy| parameter,
+// with |ASSUME| for the former and |RETAIN| for the latter. The default policy
+// is to |ASSUME|.
