// ScopedCFTypeRef<> is patterned after scoped_ptr<>, but maintains ownership
// of a CoreFoundation object: any object that can be represented as a
// CFTypeRef.  Style deviations here are solely for compatibility with
// scoped_ptr<>'s interface, with which everyone is already familiar.
//
// By default, ScopedCFTypeRef<> takes ownership of an object (in the
// constructor or in reset()) by taking over the caller's existing ownership
// claim.  The caller must own the object it gives to ScopedCFTypeRef<>, and
// relinquishes an ownership claim to that object.  ScopedCFTypeRef<> does not
// call CFRetain(). This behavior is parameterized by the |OwnershipPolicy|
// enum. If the value |RETAIN| is passed (in the constructor or in reset()),
// then ScopedCFTypeRef<> will call CFRetain() on the object, and the initial
// ownership is not changed.
