/**
 * Simple reference counted pointer
 *
 * This is an introspective shared pointer. Classes that need to be reference
 * counted must list this as a 'friend' and must have a private instance of
 * AtomicCounter called __refCount. They should also have private destructors,
 * since only this class should delete them.
 *
 * Because this is introspective, it is safe to apply to a naked pointer
 * multiple times provided there is always at least one holding SharedPtr.
 *
 * Once C++11 is ubiquitous, this and a few other things like Thread might get
 * torn out for their standard equivalents.
