/**
* CopyOnWrite<T> allows code to safely read from a data structure without

* the data structure while other code is reading from it, a copy is made so
* that readers can continue to use the old version.
*
* Note that it's legal to nest a writer inside any number of readers, but
* nothing can be nested inside a writer. This is because it's assumed that the
* state of the contained data structure may not be consistent during the write.
*
* This is a main-thread-only data structure.
*
* To work with CopyOnWrite<T>, a type T needs to be reference counted and to
* support copy construction.
