+ * RefCounted<T> is a sort of a "mixin" for a class T. RefCounted
+ * manages, well, refcounting for T, and because RefCounted is
+ * parameterized on T, RefCounted<T> can call T's destructor directly.
+ * This means T doesn't need to have a virtual dtor and so doesn't
+ * need a vtable.
+ *
+ * RefCounted<T> is created with refcount == 0. Newly-allocated
+ * RefCounted<T> must immediately be assigned to a RefPtr to make the
+ * refcount > 0. It's an error to allocate and free a bare
+ * RefCounted<T>, i.e. outside of the RefPtr machinery. Attempts to
+ * do so will abort DEBUG builds.
+ *
+ * Live RefCounted<T> have refcount > 0. The lifetime (refcounts) of
+ * live RefCounted<T> are controlled by RefPtr<T> and
+ * RefPtr<super/subclass of T>. Upon a transition from refcounted==1
+ * to 0, the RefCounted<T> "dies" and is destroyed. The "destroyed"
+ * state is represented in DEBUG builds by refcount==0xffffdead. This
+ * state distinguishes use-before-ref (refcount==0) from
+ * use-after-destroy (refcount==0xffffdead).
+ *
+ * Note that when deriving from RefCounted or AtomicRefCounted, you
+ * should add MOZ_DECLARE_REFCOUNTED_TYPENAME(ClassName) to the public
+ * section of your class, where ClassName is the name of your class.
+ *
+ * Note: SpiderMonkey should use js::RefCounted instead since that type
+ * will use appropriate js_delete and also not break ref-count logging.
