* Assignee: zzak (Zachary Scott)
* Target version:

* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
because untyped Data will be "deprecated" in the future, and TypedData is now more than 4 years old,
add an howto in the README.EXT how to effective use the "new" rb_data_type_t struct, 
because while porting i noticed many little problems that could cause an application to crash ...

like i did happen for me that the object got freed even if there was RUBY_TYPED_NEVER_FREE when RUBY_TYPED_FREE_IMMEDIATELY was used ... (i have a little protection around that object get not freed until the C struct dies first)

same append i got double free errors when using the size function for object that does have RUBY_TYPED_NEVER_FREE
same its not described what is the best way to design such a size function, 
and what flags can be used like RUBY_TYPED_FREE_IMMEDIATELY and RUBY_TYPED_WB_PROTECTED and what is the best way to use them
