We can't unref an object to destruction while there's still a live
RefPtr to the object, otherwise the RefPtr destructor will try to
destroy it again, accessing the refcount of a destroyed object (before
realizing that oops! the object is already dead)
Unfortunately adopt_ref requires a reference, which obviously does not
work well with when attempting to harden against allocation failure.
The adopt_ref_if_nonnull() variant will allow you to avoid using bare
pointers, while still allowing you to handle allocation failure.
