That will never happen because m_previousContext is a private member.
KDevelop can't set that private member in the class from kdevplatform.

The only problem would be if AbstractNavigationContext had *inline*
methods that used to rely on m_previousContext being a raw pointer and
now rely on it being a KSharedPtr; because the raw pointer code would
be in the kdevelop binary instead of the kdevplatform library.
