  // Transfer ownership of one reference to the given VTK object to

  //   vtkSmartPointer<vtkFoo> foo;

  // Create an instance of a VTK object.

  // Description:
  // Transfer ownership of one reference to the given VTK object to a
  // new smart pointer.  The returned smart pointer does not increment
  // the reference count of the object on construction but will
  // decrement it on destruction.  The caller is effectively passing
  // ownership of one reference to the smart pointer.  This is useful
  // for code like:
  //
  //   vtkSmartPointer<vtkFoo> foo =
  //     vtkSmartPointer<vtkFoo>::Take(bar->NewFoo());

  // Work-around for HP and IBM overload resolution bug.  Since
  // NullPointerOnly is a private type the only pointer value that can
  // be passed by user code is a null pointer.  This operator will be
  // chosen by the compiler when comparing against null explicitly and
  // avoid the bogus ambiguous overload error.
