// Scopers help you manage ownership of a pointer, helping you easily manage the
// a pointer within a scope, and automatically destroying the pointer at the
// end of a scope.  There are two main classes you will use, which correspond
// to the operators new/delete and new[]/delete[].
//
// Example usage (scoped_ptr):
//   {
//     scoped_ptr<Foo> foo(new Foo("wee"));
//   }  // foo goes out of scope, releasing the pointer with it.
//
//   {
//     scoped_ptr<Foo> foo;          // No pointer managed.
//     foo.reset(new Foo("wee"));    // Now a pointer is managed.
//     foo.reset(new Foo("wee2"));   // Foo("wee") was destroyed.
//     foo.reset(new Foo("wee3"));   // Foo("wee2") was destroyed.
//     foo->Method();                // Foo::Method() called.
//     foo.get()->Method();          // Foo::Method() called.
//     SomeFunc(foo.release());      // SomeFunc takes ownership, foo no longer
//                                   // manages a pointer.
//     foo.reset(new Foo("wee4"));   // foo manages a pointer again.
//     foo.reset();                  // Foo("wee4") destroyed, foo no longer
//                                   // manages a pointer.
//   }  // foo wasn't managing a pointer, so nothing was destroyed.
//
// Example usage (scoped_array):
//   {
//     scoped_array<Foo> foo(new Foo[100]);
//     foo.get()->Method();  // Foo::Method on the 0th element.
//     foo[10].Method();     // Foo::Method on the 10th element.
