+// class from it like so:
+//
+//   class MyFoo : public nacl::RefCounted<MyFoo> {
+//    ...
+//    private:
+//     friend class nacl::RefCounted<MyFoo>;
+//     ~MyFoo();
+//   };
+//
+// You should always make your destructor private, to avoid any code deleting
+// the object accidently while there are references to it.

+// A smart pointer class for reference counted objects.  Use this class instead
+// of calling AddRef and Release manually on a reference counted object to
+// avoid common memory leaks caused by forgetting to Release an object
+// reference.  Sample usage:
+//
+//   class MyFoo : public RefCounted<MyFoo> {
+//    ...
+//   };
+//
+//   void some_function() {
+//     scoped_refptr<MyFoo> foo = new MyFoo();
+//     foo->Method(param);
+//     // |foo| is released when this function returns
+//   }
+//
+//   void some_other_function() {
+//     scoped_refptr<MyFoo> foo = new MyFoo();
+//     ...
+//     foo = NULL;  // explicitly releases |foo|
+//     ...
+//     if (foo)
+//       foo->Method(param);
+//   }
+//
+// The above examples show how scoped_refptr<T> acts like a pointer to T.
+// Given two scoped_refptr<T> classes, it is also possible to exchange
+// references between the two objects, like so:
+//
+//   {
+//     scoped_refptr<MyFoo> a = new MyFoo();
+//     scoped_refptr<MyFoo> b;
+//
+//     b.swap(a);
+//     // now, |b| references the MyFoo object, and |a| references NULL.
+//   }
+//
+// To make both |a| and |b| in the above example reference the same MyFoo
+// object, simply use the assignment operator:
+//
+//   {
+//     scoped_refptr<MyFoo> a = new MyFoo();
+//     scoped_refptr<MyFoo> b;
+//
+//     b = a;
+//     // now, |a| and |b| each own a reference to the same MyFoo object.
+//   }
