+ * This header exports two public methods in the mozilla namespace:
+ *
+ * template<class SmartPtr>
+ * void ClearOnShutdown(SmartPtr *aPtr,
+ * aPhase=ShutdownPhase::XPCOMShutdownFinal)
+ *
+ * This function takes a pointer to a smart pointer and nulls the smart pointer
+ * on shutdown (and a particular phase of shutdown as needed). If a phase
+ * is specified, the ptr will be cleared at the start of that phase. Also,
+ * if a phase has already occurred when ClearOnShutdown() is called it will
+ * cause a MOZ_ASSERT. In case a phase is not explicitly cleared we will
+ * clear it on the next phase that occurs.
+ *
+ * This is useful if you have a global smart pointer object which you don't
+ * want to "leak" on shutdown.
+ *
+ * Although ClearOnShutdown will work with any smart pointer (i.e., nsCOMPtr,
+ * RefPtr, StaticRefPtr, and StaticAutoPtr), you probably want to
+ * use it only with StaticRefPtr and StaticAutoPtr. There is no way to undo a
+ * call to ClearOnShutdown, so you can call it only on smart pointers which you
+ * know will live until the program shuts down. In practice, these are likely
+ * global variables, which should be Static{Ref,Auto}Ptr.
+ *
+ * template <typename CallableT>
+ * void RunOnShutdown(CallableT&& aCallable,
+ * aPhase = ShutdownPhase::XPCOMShutdownFinal)
+ *
+ * This function takes a callable and executes it upon shutdown at the start of
+ * the specified phase. If the phase has already occurred when RunOnShutdown()
+ * is called, it will cause a MOZ_ASSERT. In case a phase is not explicitly
+ * cleared, we will clear it on the next phase that occurs.
+ *
+ * ClearOnShutdown and RunOnShutdown are both currently main-thread only because
+ * we don't want to accidentally free an object from a different thread than the
+ * one it was created on.
