/** CCountedPtr - simple reference counting smart pointer.
 *
 *     One of the standard ways how to maintain object's lifetime.
 *
 *     See http://ootips.org/yonat/4dev/smart-pointers.html for more
 *   general info about smart pointers.
 *
 *     This class implements ref-counted pointer for objects/interfaces that
