+        * QPDFObjectHandle: for the methods insertItem, appendItem,
+        eraseItem, replaceKey, and removeKey, have the methods return a
+        reference to the original object, making a fluent interface to
+        initializing or modifying QPDFObjectHandle possible. Also, for
+        each one, add a corresponding "AndGet" method (insertItemAndGet,
+        appendItemAndGet, eraseItemAndGet, replaceKeyAndGet, and
+        removeKeyAndGet) that returns the newly inserted, replaced, or
+        removed item. This makes it possible to create a new object, add
+        it to an array or dictionary, and get a handle to it all in one
+        line.
