The newly introduced
atk4_local_object
type allows to weakly reference a local PHP object.This is usefull when you want to reference a local PHP object to be part of model data. It can be even persisted in non-local database, be part of transaction, ... and typecasted back to the same instance. But keep in mind the local object is weakly referenced and once released, it is gone forever.
Normally, you should not need this type and if you do, be sure you understand how it works.
