class AutoPtr
	/// AutoPtr is a "smart" pointer for classes implementing
	/// reference counting based garbage collection.
	/// To be usable with the AutoPtr template, a class must
	/// implement the following behaviour:
	/// A class must maintain a reference count.
	/// The constructors of the object initialize the reference
	/// count to one.
	/// The class must implement a public duplicate() method:
	///     void duplicate();
	/// that increments the reference count by one.
	/// The class must implement a public release() method:
	///     void release()
	/// that decrements the reference count by one, and,
	/// if the reference count reaches zero, deletes the
	/// object.
	///
	/// AutoPtr works in the following way:
	/// If an AutoPtr is assigned an ordinary pointer to
	/// an object (via the constructor or the assignment operator),
	/// it takes ownership of the object and the object's reference 
	/// count remains unchanged.
	/// If the AutoPtr is assigned another AutoPtr, the
	/// object's reference count is incremented by one by
	/// calling duplicate() on its object.
	/// The destructor of AutoPtr calls release() on its
	/// object.
	/// AutoPtr supports dereferencing with both the ->
	/// and the * operator. An attempt to dereference a null
	/// AutoPtr results in a NullPointerException being thrown.
	/// AutoPtr also implements all relational operators.
	/// Note that AutoPtr allows casting of its encapsulated data types.
