+// A smart pointer is a memory-managing pointer to an object. If you like, it\r
+// is a zero-dimensional container.\r
+\r
+// Assignment of smart pointers result in multiple aliases of the same object.\r
+// The term alias is used to differentiate from conventional pointers because\r
+// the semantics are different.\r
+\r
+// Aliases can be turned into copies if the pointed-to class supports copying.\r
+\r
+// These simple_ptr classes from DJDM have slightly different semantics than\r
+// the smart_ptr classes of AJR. There are no cross-pointer side effects\r
+// that occur when the pointer is cleared. The clear() function is effectively\r
+// equivalent to the clear_unique() function of the smart_ptr. The only way\r
+// that a "referenced" object will be deleted is if all simple_ptr's that\r
+// reference the object are cleared (by deletion, manual clearing or reassignment).\r
+\r
+// Also, the simple pointer cannot contain a reference to a shared null pointer\r
+// (which occurs as a side-effect of clearing a multiply referenced object in\r
+// the smart_ptr classes). Which means that if you have a null simple_ptr, then\r
+// the assignment of any other null simple_ptr will NOT reassign the reference of\r
+// any other simple_ptr. Hence, the simple_ptr class acts a little more like a\r
+// normal pointer (with fewer side effects), with the added bonus of containment.\r
+\r
+// Due to the way that the simple_ptr contains the data, it also allows the\r
+// addition of various casting functions, while still keeping the managed data\r
+// containment functionality of the underlying object. This means that you can\r
+// have two simple_ptr's of different template types, both pointing to the same\r
+// data (if the differing template types are derivatives of each other).\r
+\r
+// The base class is simple_ptr_base which defines the common interface. Then\r
+// there are three subclasses which have the same interface but different copy\r
+// semantics:\r
+\r
+// - simple_ptr for simple types and classes which have copy constructors\r
+// - simple_ptr_clone for polymorphic class hierarchies which are copied using a clone method\r
+// - simple_ptr_nocopy for any class that cannot or should not be copied\r
