/**
 * P9Array provides a mechanism to access arrays in common C-style (e.g. by
 * square bracket [] operator) in conjunction with reference variables that
 * perform deep auto free of the array when leaving the scope of the auto
 * reference variable. That means not only is the array itself automatically
 * freed, but also memory dynamically allocated by the individual array
 * elements.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * Consider the following user struct @c Foo which shall be used as scalar
 * (element) type of an array:
 * @code
 * typedef struct Foo {
 *     int i;
 *     char *s;
 * } Foo;
 * @endcode
 * and assume it has the following function to free memory allocated by @c Foo
 * instances:
 * @code
 * void free_foo(Foo *foo) {
 *     free(foo->s);
 * }
 * @endcode
 * Add the following to a shared header file:
 * @code
 * P9ARRAY_DECLARE_TYPE(Foo);
 * @endcode
 * and the following to a C unit file:
 * @code
 * P9ARRAY_DEFINE_TYPE(Foo, free_foo);
 * @endcode
 * Finally the array may then be used like this:
 * @code
 * void doSomething(size_t n) {
 *     P9ARRAY_REF(Foo) foos = NULL;
 *     P9ARRAY_NEW(Foo, foos, n);
 *     for (size_t i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
 *         foos[i].i = i;
 *         foos[i].s = calloc(4096, 1);
 *         snprintf(foos[i].s, 4096, "foo %d", i);
 *         if (...) {
 *             return; // array auto freed here
 *         }
 *     }
 *     // array auto freed here
 * }
 * @endcode
