            Bug ID: 238780
           Summary: Convention to indicate caller is responsible for
                    maintaining external ref
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: gnavamarino at apple.com

As recommended by Sam in bug 238747 and as this seems to be the preferred pattern to ensure a ref counted object remains for the scope of the call:

> I wonder ifs we should come up with some convention (naming or otherwise) to
> indicate that a caller is responsible for maintaining an external ref. Like,
> Document::close_mayDestroy(), or perhaps even take it a step further and
> require a separate type to call close()?  
> 
> Ref closer = document.closer()
> closer.close()
