RefCounted

An object which is tied to a resource that is reference-counted. Each time an object uses this resource, they acquire a reference (increment the refCount), and when that object stops using it, they release the reference. Once the number of references reaches 0, the object is destroyed.

Any functions or classes which accept a RefCounted will not automatically acquire a reference; this is your responsibility as the caller, but allows you a fine level of control over what objects own what references.
