// This class acts like ScopedPtr with a custom deleter (although is slightly
// less fancy in some of the more escoteric respects) except that it keeps a
// copy of the object rather than a pointer, and we require that the contained
// object has some kind of "invalid" value.
//
// Defining a scoper based on this class allows you to get a scoper for
// non-pointer types without having to write custom code for set, reset, and
// move, etc. and get almost identical semantics that people are used to from
// scoped_ptr.
//
// It is intended that you will typedef this class with an appropriate deleter
// to implement clean up tasks for objects that act like pointers from a
// resource management standpoint but aren't, such as file descriptors and
// various types of operating system handles. Using scoped_ptr for these
// things requires that you keep a pointer to the handle valid for the lifetime
// of the scoper (which is easy to mess up).
//
// For an object to be able to be put into a ScopedGeneric, it must support
// standard copyable semantics and have a specific "invalid" value. The traits
// must define a free function and also the invalid value to assign for
// default-constructed and released objects.
