It returns itself. I'll add the test in the resend.

Makes sense. You're right about the way I'm releasing parent_frame being a
bit odd when you look at it. But going in terms of refcounts (and the fact
that all frame versions share the same refcount) there shouldn't be an
issue for now.

Thanks for the review :)
