+ * QObject Reference Counts Terminology
+ * ------------------------------------
+ *
+ * - Returning references: A function that returns an object may
+ * return it as either a weak or a strong reference. If the reference
+ * is strong, you are responsible for calling QDECREF() on the reference
+ * when you are done.
+ *
+ * If the reference is weak, the owner of the reference may free it at
+ * any time in the future. Before storing the reference anywhere, you
+ * should call QINCREF() to make the reference strong.
+ *
+ * - Transferring ownership: when you transfer ownership of a reference
+ * by calling a function, you are no longer responsible for calling
+ * QDECREF() when the reference is no longer needed. In other words,
+ * when the function returns you must behave as if the reference to the
+ * passed object was weak.
