See bug #172030 for detailed discussion which I will abstract here: for functions that return (or should return) an |already_AddRefed<T>|, can we provide a typesafe convenience function that |AddRef|s and returns given either an |nsCOMPtr| or a raw pointer as a source See, in particular, discussion in and around this comment -- http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172030#c18
