/// Simple class to facilitate reference counting / releasing
/// Derive your class from RefTarget and you can reference it by using Ref<classname> or RefConst<classname>

/// Reference counting classes keep an integer which indicates how many references
/// to the object are active. Reference counting objects are derived from RefTarget
/// and staT & their life with a reference count of zero. They can then be assigned
/// to equivalents of pointers (Ref) which will increase the reference count immediately.
/// If the destructor of Ref is called or another object is assigned to the reference
/// counting pointer it will decrease the reference count of the object again. If this
/// reference count becomes zero, the object is destroyed.
///
/// This provides a very powerful mechanism to prevent memory leaks, but also gives
/// some responsibility to the programmer. The most notable point is that you cannot
/// have one object reference another and have the other reference the first one
/// back, because this way the reference count of both objects will never become
/// lower than 1, resulting in a memory leak. By carefully designing your classses
/// (and particularly identifying who owns who in the class hierarchy) you can avoid
/// these problems.
