class SharedPtr
	/// SharedPtr is a "smart" pointer for classes implementing
	/// reference counting based garbage collection.
	/// SharedPtr is thus similar to AutoPtr. Unlike the
	/// AutoPtr template, which can only be used with
	/// classes that support reference counting, SharedPtr
	/// can be used with any class. For this to work, a
	/// SharedPtr manages a reference count for the object
	/// it manages.
	/// 
	/// SharedPtr works in the following way:
	/// If an SharedPtr is assigned an ordinary pointer to
	/// an object (via the constructor or the assignment operator),
	/// it takes ownership of the object and the object's reference 
	/// count is initialized to one.
	/// If the SharedPtr is assigned another SharedPtr, the
	/// object's reference count is incremented by one.
	/// The destructor of SharedPtr decrements the object's
	/// reference count by one and deletes the object if the
	/// reference count reaches zero.
	/// SharedPtr supports dereferencing with both the ->
	/// and the * operator. An attempt to dereference a null
	/// SharedPtr results in a NullPointerException being thrown.
	/// SharedPtr also implements all relational operators and
	/// a cast operator in case dynamic casting of the encapsulated data types
	/// is required.
