    A base class which provides methods for reference-counting.

    To add reference-counting to a class, derive it from this class, and
    use the ReferenceCountedObjectPtr class to point to it.

    e.g. @code
    class MyClass : public ReferenceCountedObject
    {
        void foo();

        // This is a neat way of declaring a typedef for a pointer class,
        // rather than typing out the full templated name each time..

    MyClass::Ptr p2 = p;
    p = nullptr;
    p2->foo();
    @endcode

    Once a new ReferenceCountedObject has been assigned to a pointer, be
    careful not to delete the object manually.

    This class uses an Atomic<int> value to hold the reference count, so that it
    the pointers can be passed between threads safely. For a faster but non-thread-safe
    version, use SingleThreadedReferenceCountedObject instead.

/**
    A smart-pointer class which points to a reference-counted object.

    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.

    When using this class, you'll probably want to create a typedef to abbreviate the full
    templated name - e.g.
    @code
    struct MyClass  : public ReferenceCountedObject
    {
        typedef ReferenceCountedObjectPtr<MyClass> Ptr;
