// Description: This class is used as a base class for other objects which
// must be shared. By using this, objects which depend on its
// existence can be somewhat sure that the shared object will
// not be deleted until nothing depends on it.

\class SharedObject SharedObject.h
\brief Base class for shared objects
SharedObjects track dependencies upon a particular object. In this way, is is
possible to ensure that a shared resource is not deleted if something else
needs it. How the dependency tracking is done largely depends on the child class.
