Planned changes for future 12.x (subject to change):
- ``QPDFObjectHandle`` will support move construction/assignment.
This change will be invisible to most developers but may break
your code if you rely on specific behavior around how many
references to a QPDFObjectHandle's underlying object exist. You
would have to write code specifically to do that, so if you're not
sure, then you shouldn't have to worry.
- ``QPDFObjectHandle`` will be implicitly convertible to ``bool``
with undefined objects evaluating to ``false``. This can simplify
error handling and will facilitate use of ``QPDFObjectHandle``
with some newer standard library constructs. This change won't
affect any existing code unless you have written your own
conversion methods to/from ``QPDFObjectHandle``. In that case,
it's possible that the new qpdf-provided conversion may override
your conversion.

- If you add an uninitialized ``QPDFObjectHandle`` to an array,
qpdf will throw a ``logic_error``. It has always been invalid to
do this, but before, it wouldn't have been caught until later.
