/**
 * 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.
