Detailed Description

template<class T>
class MemoryReference< T >

Keeps track of at most one pointer, deleting it when this object is destroyed.

Essentially, this class peforms simple single-use garbage collection. In general, an AllocatingPointer is more useful, but this class is required in some cases. Specifically, this class can handle objects of an unknown derived type, even if the type does not support a clone() operation (e.g. the standard numeric or string types.) It does so by sacrificing the ability to copy the pointed-to object; the copy simply has no pointer at all.
