// Scopers help you manage ownership of a pointer, helping you easily manage the
// a pointer within a scope, and automatically destroying the pointer at the
// end of a scope.  There are two main classes you will use, which correspond
// to the operators new/delete and new[]/delete[].
//
// Example usage (scoped_ptr<T>):
//   {
//     scoped_ptr<Foo> foo(new Foo("wee"));
//   }  // foo goes out of scope, releasing the pointer with it.
//
//   {
//     scoped_ptr<Foo> foo;          // No pointer managed.
//     foo.reset(new Foo("wee"));    // Now a pointer is managed.
//     foo.reset(new Foo("wee2"));   // Foo("wee") was destroyed.
//     foo.reset(new Foo("wee3"));   // Foo("wee2") was destroyed.
//     foo->Method();                // Foo::Method() called.
//     foo.get()->Method();          // Foo::Method() called.
//     SomeFunc(foo.release());      // SomeFunc takes ownership, foo no longer
//                                   // manages a pointer.
//     foo.reset(new Foo("wee4"));   // foo manages a pointer again.
//     foo.reset();                  // Foo("wee4") destroyed, foo no longer
//                                   // manages a pointer.
//   }  // foo wasn't managing a pointer, so nothing was destroyed.
//
// Example usage (scoped_ptr<T[]>):
//   {
//     scoped_ptr<Foo[]> foo(new Foo[100]);
//     foo.get()->Method();  // Foo::Method on the 0th element.
//     foo[10].Method();     // Foo::Method on the 10th element.
//   }
//
// These scopers also implement part of the functionality of C++11 unique_ptr
// in that they are "movable but not copyable."  You can use the scopers in
// the parameter and return types of functions to signify ownership transfer
// in to and out of a function.  When calling a function that has a scoper
// as the argument type, it must be called with the result of an analogous
// scoper's Pass() function or another function that generates a temporary;
// passing by copy will NOT work.  Here is an example using scoped_ptr:
//
//   void TakesOwnership(scoped_ptr<Foo> arg) {
//     // Do something with arg
//   }
//   scoped_ptr<Foo> CreateFoo() {
//     // No need for calling Pass() because we are constructing a temporary
//     // for the return value.
//     return scoped_ptr<Foo>(new Foo("new"));
//   }
//   scoped_ptr<Foo> PassThru(scoped_ptr<Foo> arg) {
//     return arg.Pass();
//   }
//
//   {
//     scoped_ptr<Foo> ptr(new Foo("yay"));  // ptr manages Foo("yay").
//     TakesOwnership(ptr.Pass());           // ptr no longer owns Foo("yay").
//     scoped_ptr<Foo> ptr2 = CreateFoo();   // ptr2 owns the return Foo.
//     scoped_ptr<Foo> ptr3 =                // ptr3 now owns what was in ptr2.
//         PassThru(ptr2.Pass());            // ptr2 is correspondingly NULL.
//   }
//
// Notice that if you do not call Pass() when returning from PassThru(), or
// when invoking TakesOwnership(), the code will not compile because scopers
// are not copyable; they only implement move semantics which require calling
// the Pass() function to signify a destructive transfer of state. CreateFoo()
// is different though because we are constructing a temporary on the return
// line and thus can avoid needing to call Pass().
//
// Pass() properly handles upcast in initialization, i.e. you can use a
// scoped_ptr<Child> to initialize a scoped_ptr<Parent>:
//
//   scoped_ptr<Foo> foo(new Foo());
//   scoped_ptr<FooParent> parent(foo.Pass());
//
// PassAs<>() should be used to upcast return value in return statement:
//
//   scoped_ptr<Foo> CreateFoo() {
//     scoped_ptr<FooChild> result(new FooChild());
//     return result.PassAs<Foo>();
//   }
//
// Note that PassAs<>() is implemented only for scoped_ptr<T>, but not for
// scoped_ptr<T[]>. This is because casting array pointers may not be safe.
