+/**
+ * _nm_shutdown_wait_obj_register:
+ * @watched_obj: the object to watch. Takes a weak reference on the object
+ *   to be notified when it gets destroyed.
+ * @msg_reason: a reason message, for debugging and logging purposes. It
+ *   must be a static string. Or at least, be alive at least as long as
+ *   @watched_obj. So, theoretically, if you need a dynamic @msg_reason,
+ *   you could attach it to @watched_obj's user-data.
+ *
+ * Keep track of @watched_obj until it gets destroyed. During shutdown,
+ * we wait until all watched objects are destroyed. This is useful, if
+ * this object still conducts some asynchronous action, which needs to
+ * complete before NetworkManager is allowed to terminate. We re-use
+ * the reference-counter of @watched_obj as signal, that the object
+ * is still used.
+ *
+ * FIXME(shutdown): proper shutdown is not yet implemented, and registering
+ *   an object (currently) has no effect.
+ *
+ * Returns: a handle to unregister the object. The caller may choose to ignore
+ *   the handle, in which case, the object will be automatically unregistered,
+ *   once it gets destroyed.
