/**
 * A simple shared pointer implementation modelled after boost.
 *
 * This object keeps track of the assigned pointer and automatically
 * frees it when no more SharedPtr references to it exist.
 *
 * To achieve that the object implements an internal reference counting.
 * Thus you should try to avoid using the plain pointer after assigning
 * it to a SharedPtr object for the first time. If you still use the
 * plain pointer be sure you do not delete it on your own. You may also
 * not use the plain pointer to create a new SharedPtr object, since that
 * would result in a double deletion of the pointer sooner or later.
 *
 * Example creation:
 * Common::SharedPtr<int> pointer(new int(1));
 * would create a pointer to int. Later on usage via *pointer is the same
 * as for a normal pointer. If you need to access the plain pointer value
 * itself later on use the get method. The class also supplies a operator
 * ->, which does the same as the -> operator on a normal pointer.
 *
 * Be sure you are using new to initialize the pointer you want to manage.
 * If you do not use new for allocating, you have to supply a deleter as
 * second parameter when creating a SharedPtr object. The deleter has to
 * implement operator() which takes the pointer it should free as argument.
 *
 * Note that you have to specify the type itself not the pointer type as
 * template parameter.
 *
 * When creating a SharedPtr object from a normal pointer you need a real
 * definition of the type you want SharedPtr to manage, a simple forward
 * definition is not enough.
 *
 * The class has implicit upcast support, so if you got a class B derived
 * from class A, you can assign a pointer to B without any problems to a
 * SharedPtr object with template parameter A. The very same applies to
 * assignment of a SharedPtr<B> object to a SharedPtr<A> object.
 *
 * There are also operators != and == to compare two SharedPtr objects
 * with compatible pointers. Comparison between a SharedPtr object and
 * a plain pointer is only possible via SharedPtr::get.
