 * \brief A reference counter base class
 *
 * This base class can be used with user-defined classes to add support
 * for \c intrusive_ptr. The class contains a thread-safe reference counter
 * and a virtual destructor, which makes the derived class polymorphic.
 * Upon releasing the last \c intrusive_ptr referencing the object
 * derived from the \c intrusive_ref_counter class, operator \c delete
 * is automatically called on the pointer to the object.
