I'm not sure how this would work as a style check rule since there's 
always going to be exceptions. E.g. we probably don't want to convert 
GObject priv pointers to use CheckedRef: that would be silly.

I think we can follow this rule in most of WebCore and maybe most of 
WebKit and WTF as well. Probably not going to work for bmalloc. Not 
sure about JSC.
