// 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());
//
// 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|.
