## Definition

The class `Ref_counted` implements a base class for objects which are reference counted.

To use it simply inherit from `Ref_counted` (passing the type to be reference counted as the template argument) and then access the object through `Handle` objects rather than bare C++ pointers.

Operations

There are no methods which should be called by users of this class.

## Types
typedef unspecified_type | Handle
| A reference counted pointer to an Object.
typedef unspecified_type | Const_handle
| A const reference counted pointer to an Object.

## Creation
| Ref_counted ()
| default constructor.
