/**
 * 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.
