/* 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 *);
