This class is just a typedef to wxRefCounter and is used by wxObject.
Derive classes from this to store your own data. When retrieving information
from a wxObject's reference data, you will need to cast to your own derived class.
Derive classes from this to store your own data in wxObject derived
classes. When retrieving information from a wxObject's reference data,
you will need to cast to your own derived class.
Below is an example illustrating how to store reference counted
data in a class derived from wxObject including copy-on-write
semantics.

@class wxRefCounter
This class is used to manage reference-counting.
This class is used to manage reference-counting providing a simple
interface and a counter. wxRefCounter can be easily used together
with wxObjectDataPtr<T> to ensure that no calls to wxRefCounter::DecRef()
are missed - thus avoiding memory leaks.
wxObjectRefData is a typedef to wxRefCounter and is used as the
built-in reference counted storage for wxObject derive classes.
