        @param p        The raw pointer to assume ownership of.  May be NULL.
        @discussion Like shared_ptr, it is assumed that the caller has a strong reference to p and intends
                    to transfer ownership of that reference to this ref holder.  If the object comes from
                    a Create or Copy method then this is the correct behavior.  If the object comes from
                    a Get method then you must CFRetain it yourself before passing it to this constructor.
                    A handy way to do this is to use the non-member wxCFRefFromGet factory funcion.
                    This method is templated and takes an otherType *p.  This prevents implicit conversion
                    using an operator refType() in a different ref-holding class type.
