// 	 Class : TypedReferenceCount
// Description : A base class for things which need to inherit from
//               both TypedObject and from ReferenceCount.  It's
//               convenient to define this intermediate base class
//               instead of multiply inheriting from the two classes
//               each time they are needed, so that we can sensibly
//               pass around pointers to things which are both
//               TypedObjects and ReferenceCounters.
