/**

* \brief C++ API: "Smart pointers" for use with and in ICU4C C++ code.
*
* These classes are inspired by
* - std::auto_ptr
* - boost::scoped_ptr & boost::scoped_array
* - Taligent Safe Pointers (TOnlyPointerTo)
*
* but none of those provide for all of the goals for ICU smart pointers:
* - Smart pointer owns the object and releases it when it goes out of scope.
* - No transfer of ownership via copy/assignment to reduce misuse. Simpler & more robust.
* - ICU-compatible: No exceptions.
* - Need to be able to orphan/release the pointer and its ownership.
* - Need variants for normal C++ object pointers, C++ arrays, and ICU C service objects.
*
* For details see http://site.icu-project.org/design/cpp/scoped_ptr
