//                          Python-side proxy objects
//                          =========================
//
// C++ objects are represented in Python by ObjectProxy's, which encapsulate
// them using either a pointer (normal), pointer-to-pointer (kIsReference set),
// or as an owned value (kIsValue set). Objects held as reference are never
// owned, otherwise the object is owned if kIsOwner is set.
//
// In addition to encapsulation, ObjectProxy offers pickling (using TBufferFile
// with a copy into a Python string); rudimentary comparison operators (based on
// pointer value and class comparisons); stubs for numeric operators; and a
// representation that prints the C++ pointer values, rather than the PyObject*
// ones as is the default.
