 *
 * File: RefCount.h
 * Synopsis:
 *     1. This file defines two templated classes:
 *               RCRepImpl<class N>
 *     to create Reps of the class N.  The basic functions provided by
 *     this class is reference counting.   The other class is
 *               RCImpl<class T>
 *     for implementing the envelop-letter paradigm for a class whose Rep
 *     is the class T.  So, T is the "letter", and RCImpl<T> the "envelop".
 *
 *     2. All Rep classes (BigIntRep, BigFloatRep, BigRatRep, ExprRep, etc)
 *     are derived from RCRepImpl<N>.  E.g.,
 *
 *         class BigRatRep : public RCRepImp<BigRatRep> {
 *         ...
 *         }
 *     (Note the recursive use of "BigRatRep").
 *
 *     3. All Number classes (BigInt, BigFloat, BigRat, Expr, etc)
 *     are derived from RCImpl<T>.  E.g.
 *
 *         typedef RCImpl<BigRatRep> RCBigRat;
 *         class BigRat : public RCBigRat {
 *         ...
 *         }
