/**
 * \ingroup ptr
 *
 * \brief Smart pointer class similar to \c boost::intrusive_ptr.
 *
 * This smart-pointer class assumes that the underlying
 * type provides a pair of \c Ref and \c Unref methods which are
 * expected to increment and decrement the internal reference count
 * of the object instance.  You can add \c Ref and \c Unref
 * to a class simply by inheriting from ns3::SimpleRefCount.
 *
 * This implementation allows you to manipulate the smart pointer
 * as if it was a normal pointer: you can compare it with zero,
 * compare it against other pointers, assign zero to it, etc.
 *
 * It is possible to extract the raw pointer from this
 * smart pointer with the GetPointer() and PeekPointer() methods.
 *
 * If you want to store a \c new object into a smart pointer,
 * we recommend you to use the Create() template functions
 * to create the object and store it in a smart pointer to avoid
 * memory leaks. These functions are really small convenience
 * functions and their goal is just is save you a small
 * bit of typing.
 *
 * \tparam T \explicit The underlying type.
