/**
 Objects of types which conform to `RLMThreadConfined` can be managed by a Realm, which will make
 them bound to a thread-specific `RLMRealm` instance. Managed objects must be explicitly exported
 and imported to be passed between threads.

 Managed instances of objects conforming to this protocol can be converted to a thread-safe
 reference for transport between threads by passing to the
 `+[RLMThreadSafeReference referenceWithThreadConfined:]` constructor.

 Note that only types defined by Realm can meaningfully conform to this protocol, and defining new
 classes which attempt to conform to it will not make them work with `RLMThreadSafeReference`.

 @warning A `RLMThreadSafeReference` object must be resolved at most once.
          Failing to resolve a `RLMThreadSafeReference` will result in the source version of the

       will be retained until all references have been resolved or deallocated.
