+/*!
+  \class QtPrivate::RefCount
+  \internal
+
+  QRefCount implements atomic ref counting for Qt's shared classes. It behaves very similar
+  to QAtomicInt, but ignores negative ref counts.
+
+  This can be used to allow to implement e.g. const read-only QStringData objects. QString::shared_null and
+  the qs(...) macro make use of this feature.
