/**
    Holds a list of objects derived from ReferenceCountedObject, or which implement basic
    reference-count handling methods.

    The template parameter specifies the class of the object you want to point to - the easiest
    way to make a class reference-countable is to simply make it inherit from ReferenceCountedObject
    or SingleThreadedReferenceCountedObject, but if you need to, you can roll your own reference-countable
    class by implementing a set of methods called incReferenceCount(), decReferenceCount(), and
    decReferenceCountWithoutDeleting(). See ReferenceCountedObject for examples of how these methods
    should behave.

    A ReferenceCountedArray holds objects derived from ReferenceCountedObject,
    and takes care of incrementing and decrementing their ref counts when they
    are added and removed from the array.

    To make all the array's methods thread-safe, pass in "CriticalSection" as the templated
    TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse parameter, instead of the default DummyCriticalSection.
