Cool.  So that means an ObjC object can be passed as a reference 
throughout the CF APIs and-- hopefully-- can eventually be turned back 
into an Py-wrapped ObjC object when it comes back to Python.  I'm sure 
there are some issues.

Testing would indicate that that does seem to be the case, but I can't 
find specific documentation indicating that it is anything but 
coincidental.
