+// 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.
+// }
