//       Class : NodeReferenceCount
// Description : This class specializes ReferenceCount to add an
//               additional counter, called node_ref_count, for the
//               purposes of counting the number of times the object
//               is referenced by a "node", whatever that may mean in
//               context.
//
//               The new methods node_ref() and node_unref()
//               automatically increment and decrement the primary
//               reference count as well.  There also exists a
//               NodePointerTo<> class to maintain the node_ref
//               counters automatically.
//
//               See also CachedTypedWritableReferenceCount, which is
//               similar in principle, as well as
//               NodeCachedReferenceCount, which combines both of
//               these.
