//     SmartPtr<Foo>  ptr2;             // empty pointer.
//     ptr2 = ptr;                      // copies pointer + increment reference count.
//     Foo* obj = ptr.Ptr();            // access pointed object.
//     ptr->DoStuff();                  // operate directly on pointed object.
//     (*ptr)->DoStuff();               // same here.
//
// On scope exit, the internal reference count is decremented and the
// object is deleted automatically when it reaches 0, indicating that
// there are no more owners.
//
// IMPORTANT: You need to be sure that only one 'chain' of smart pointers
// own a given object. I.e. the following is incorrect:
//
//     Foo* foo = new Foo();      // create new instance.
//     SmartPtr<Foo>  ptr(foo);   // |ptr| takes ownership of |foo|.
//     SmartPtr<Foo>  ptr2(foo);  // |ptr2| takes also ownership of |foo|.
//
// The problem is that |ptr| and |ptr2| don't know anything about each
// other, and will not share the same reference count. Once a smart pointer
// owns an object, only use other smart pointers that are copy-constructed
// or assigned with the initial one to keep everything consistent.
