Recently there was a need to make the smart pointer wrapping GLib reference-counted types more general. In this case it was to extend it to Cairo. Here is the bug for that: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44354 It struck me that the name GRefPtr wasn't very applicable to this type any longer, so I changed it to PlatformRefPtr in my patch. That seemed a bit wordy and others have suggested PRefPtr. Since this naming affects more than just the GTK+ port, I thought I would get some opinions on a name that is easy to type and fitting.
