So if I have a RetainPtr<something> x; and I ever do &x, then x is now null?  That's strange.

This isn't tested.

Should change this file to use #pragma once.

Should change this file to use #pragma once.

I think this needs a comment explaining what it does.

Not sure what you mean exactly.

I did it to avoid memory leaks, but I do agree that it's weird and so now I'm just asserting that x is null.
