class AutoReleasePool
	/// An AutoReleasePool implements simple garbage collection for 
	/// reference-counted objects.
	/// It temporarily takes ownwership of reference-counted objects that 
	/// nobody else wants to take ownership of and releases them 
	/// at a later, appropriate point in time.
	///
	/// Note: The correct way to add an object hold by an AutoPtr<> to
	/// an AutoReleasePool is by invoking the AutoPtr's duplicate()
	/// method. Example:
	///    AutoReleasePool<C> arp;
	///    AutoPtr<C> ptr = new C;
	///    ...
	///    arp.add(ptr.duplicate());
