///   };
///
///   void some_function() {

///   {
///     CefRefPtr<MyFoo> a = new MyFoo();
///     CefRefPtr<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: /// ///
///   {
///     CefRefPtr<MyFoo> a = new MyFoo();
///     CefRefPtr<MyFoo> b;
///
///     b = a;
///     // now, |a| and |b| each own a reference to the same MyFoo object.

///     // during the scope of some_func_with_param() and released when
