/**
* OWNERSHIP MODEL
*
* Roughly speaking, the child side "actually owns" a Layer. This
* is because the parent side is the "shadow"; when the child
* releases a Layer, the parent's shadow is no longer meaningful.
*
* To implement this model, the concrete PLayerParent keeps a
* strong ref to its Layer, so the Layer's lifetime is bound to
* the PLayerParent's. Then, when the Layer's refcount hits 0 on
* the child side, we send __delete__() from the child to parent.
* The parent then releases its Layer, which results in the Layer
* being deleted "soon" (usually immediately).
