We will use this instead of the C API in GTK+.

Usually we have the API object own the WebKit namespace object. Could you point to an example? I think I've followed what all other objects do. - WebPageProxy in WebKit namespace owns API::LoaderClient, API::PolicyClient, API::NavigationClient, and a lot more clients - WebProcessPool in WebKit namespace owns API::AutomationClient, API::DownloadClient, API::LegacyContextHistoryClient and API::CustomProtocolManagerClient or did I misunderstand what you mean?

After talking to some people, I now think this is correct. Sorry about the misunderstanding. API namespace objects own WebKit namespace objects, but clients pass calls in the opposite direction. This is correct. We should us a UniqueRef here because it's never null.

Didn't know UniqueRef, do you want me to change this patch before landing to use UniqueRef, or better do that in a follow up and switch all clients to UniqueRef?
Switching all clients to UniqueRef would be nice.
