/// An owning pointer for `QObject`-based objects.
///
/// `QBox` will delete its object on drop if it has no parent. If the object has a parent,
/// it's assumed that the parent is responsible for deleting the object, as per Qt ownership system.
/// Additionally, `QBox` will be automatically set to null when the object is deleted, similar
/// to `QPtr` (or `QPointer<T>` in C++). `QBox` will not attempt to delete null pointers.
///
/// Note that dereferencing a null `QBox` will panic, so if it's known that the object may
/// already have been deleted, you should use `is_null()`, `as_ref()`,
/// or a similar method to check
/// if the object is still alive before calling its methods.
///
/// Unlike `CppBox` (which is non-nullable), `QBox` is permitted to contain a null pointer because
/// even if a non-null pointer is provided when constructing `QBox`, it will become null
/// automatically if the object is deleted.
///
/// To prevent the object from being deleted, convert `QBox` to another type of pointer using
/// `into_q_ptr()` or `into_ptr()`. Alternatively, setting a parent for the object will prevent
/// `QBox` from deleting it.
///
/// To make sure the object is deleted regardless of its parent, convert `QBox` to `CppBox` using
/// `into_box()`.
///
/// # Safety
///
/// `QBox` has the same safety issues as `QPtr`. See `QPtr` documentation.
