+/**
+ * A pseudo GC in which CanvasItems whose ownership isn't clear cut
+ * can be put for periodical removal.
+ *
+ * This is especially for SegmentItems which can put their repeat
+ * rectangles when they're being deleted.
+ *
+ * The problem this solves is a classic ownership/double deletion
+ * case. The SegmentCanvas deletes all its items on destruction. But
+ * the SegmentItems have an auxiliary "repeat rectangle" which is a
+ * QCanvasRectangle, that needs to be deleted when the SegmentItem is
+ * itself deleted.
+ *
+ * However, if the SegmentItem deletes its repeat rectangle, then when
+ * the SegmentCanvas destruction occurs, the SegmentCanvas dtor will
+ * get a list of all its children (QCanvas::allItems()), containing
+ * both SegmentItems and their repeat rectangles. Deleting a
+ * SegmentItem will delete its repeat rectangle, which will still be
+ * present in the all children list which the SegmentCanvas dtor is
+ * iterating over.
+ * 
+ * So a solution is simply to push to-be-deleted repeat rectangles on
+ * this GC, which should be processed on canvas updates, for instance.
