A ConstPointerTo is similar to a PointerTo, except it keeps a const pointer to the thing.
(Actually, it keeps a non-const pointer, because it must be allowed to adjust the reference counts, and it must be able to delete it when the reference count goes to zero. But it presents only a const pointer to the outside world.)
Notice that a PointerTo may be assigned to a ConstPointerTo, but a ConstPointerTo may not be assigned to a PointerTo.

void ConstPointerTo< T >::clear | ( | ) | [inline] |
A convenient way to set the PointerTo object to NULL.
(Assignment to a NULL pointer also works, of course.)
Reimplemented from PointerToBase< T >.

ConstPointerTo< T >::operator const T * | ( | ) | const [inline] |
We also have the typecast operator to automatically convert ConstPointerTo's to the required kind of actual pointer.
This introduces ambiguities which the compiler will resolve one way or the other, but we don't care which way it goes because either will be correct.

const ConstPointerTo< T >::To * ConstPointerTo< T >::p | ( | ) | const [inline] |
Returns an ordinary pointer instead of a ConstPointerTo.
Useful to work around compiler problems, particularly for implicit upcasts.
