//       Class : NodeCachedReferenceCount
// Description : This class further specializes
//               CachedTypedWritableReferenceCount to also add a
//               node_ref_count, for the purposes of counting the
//               number of times the object is referenced by a "node",
//               presumably a PandaNode.
//
//               This essentially combines the functionality of
//               NodeReferenceCount and
//               CachedTypedWritableReferenceCount, so that a
//               derivative of this object actually has three
//               counters: the standard reference count, the "cache"
//               reference count, and the "node" reference count.
//               Rather than multiply inheriting from the two
//               reference count classes, we inherit only from
//               CachedTypedWritableReferenceCount and simply
//               duplicate the functionality of NodeReferenceCount, to
//               avoid all of the problems associated with multiple
//               inheritance.
//
//               The intended design is to use this as a base class
//               for RenderState and TransformState, both of which are
//               held by PandaNodes, and also have caches which are
//               independently maintained.  By keeping track of how
//               many nodes hold a pointer to a particular object, we
//               can classify each object into node-referenced,
//               cache-referenced, or other, which is primarily useful
//               for PStats reporting.
//
//               As with CachedTypedWritableReferenceCount's
//               cache_ref() and cache_unref(), the new methods
//               node_ref() and node_unref() automatically increment
//               and decrement the primary reference count as well.
//               In this case, however, there does exist a
//               NodePointerTo<> class to maintain the node_ref
//               counters automatically.
