* 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
* qobject_unref() 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 qobject_ref() 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
* qobject_unref() 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.
