// RefCount objects should generally only be accessed by way of LLPointer<>'s
// NOTE: LLPointer<LLFoo> x = new LLFoo(); MAY NOT BE THREAD SAFE
//   if LLFoo::LLFoo() does anything like put itself in an update queue.
//   The queue may get accessed before it gets assigned to x.
// The correct implementation is:
//   LLPointer<LLFoo> x = new LLFoo; // constructor does not do anything interesting
//   x->instantiate(); // does stuff like place x into an update queue

// see llthread.h for LLThreadSafeRefCount
