Sometimes, baz might store the reference (admittedly, that's not very good design, except for some register_xxx functions, but I'd use pointers then anyway), and when the foo is destroyed, you have a dangling reference. In boost::python, this can be prevented, by binding the lifetime of foo to some other objects (where baz stores the reference).
