+/* An instance of this class either holds a reference to a
+   reference-counted object or is "NULL".  Reference counting is
+   handled externally by a policy class.  If the object holds a
+   reference, then when the object is destroyed, the reference is
+   decref'd.
+
+   Normally an instance is constructed using a pointer.  This sort of
+   initialization lets this class manage the lifetime of that
+   reference.
+
+   Assignment and copy construction will make a new reference as
+   appropriate.  Assignment from a plain pointer is disallowed to
+   avoid confusion about whether this acquires a new reference;
+   instead use the "reset" method -- which, like the pointer
+   constructor, transfers ownership.
+
+   The policy class must provide two static methods:
+   void incref (T *);
+   void decref (T *);
