/**
 * A class for holding strong references to nsPresArena-allocated
 * objects.
 *
 * Since the arena's lifetime is not related to the refcounts
 * of the objects allocated within it, it is possible to have a strong
 * reference to an arena-allocated object that lives until the
 * destruction of the arena.  An ArenaRefPtr acts like a weak reference
 * in that it will clear its referent if the arena is about to go away.
 *
 * T must be a class that has these two methods:
 *
 *   static mozilla::ArenaObjectID ArenaObjectID();
 *   U* Arena();
 *
 * where U is a class that has these two methods:
 *
 *   void RegisterArenaRefPtr(ArenaRefPtr<T>*);
 *   void DeregisterArenaRefPtr(ArenaRefPtr<T>*);
 *
 * Currently, both nsPresArena and nsIPresShell can be used as U.
 *
 * The ArenaObjectID method must return the mozilla::ArenaObjectID that
 * uniquely identifies T, and the Arena method must return the nsPresArena
 * (or a proxy for it) in which the object was allocated.
