//! Standard type function allowing to check that contained object is Handle
Standard_EXPORT const Handle(Standard_Type)& STANDARD_TYPE(NCollection_Handle);
  
//! Purpose: This template class is used to define Handle adaptor
//! for allocated dynamically objects of arbitrary type.
//!
//! The advantage is that this handle will automatically destroy 
//! the object when last referred Handle is destroyed (i.e. it is a 
//! typical smart pointer), and that it can be handled as 
//! Handle(Standard_Transient) in OCCT components.
//!
//! Use it as follows:
//!
//! NCollection_Handle<T> aPtr = new T (...);
//!
//! aPtr->Method(...);
//!
//! Handle(Standard_Transient) aBase = aPtr;
//! if ( aBase->IsKind(STANDARD_TYPE(NCollection_Handle)) )
//! {
//!   NCollection_Handle<T> aPtr2 = NCollection_Handle<T>::DownCast (aBase);
//!   if ( ! aPtr2.IsNull() )
//!     aPtr2->Method2();
//! }
