I'm not sure when you would use it (probably so you can pass
references to callbacks) but I think the idea is so you can have a two
step construction of the frame (which the original wx in C++ allows)

Something like that:

20> wx:new().
{wx_ref,0,wx,[]}
21> Frame5 = wxFrame:new().
{wx_ref,35,wxFrame,[]}
22> wxFrame:create(Frame5, wx:null(), 1042, "blah").
true
23> wxFrame:show(Frame5).

and that should display the frame

cheers,
