    /** Copy-on-write wrapper.

        This template provides copy-on-write semantics for the wrapped
        type: when copying, the operation is performed shallow,
        i.e. different cow_wrapper objects share the same underlying
        instance. Only when accessing the underlying object via
        non-const methods, a unique copy is provided.

        The type parameter <code>T</code> must satisfy the following
        requirements: it must be default-constructible, copyable (it
        need not be assignable), and be of non-reference type. Note
        that, despite the fact that this template provides access to
        the wrapped type via pointer-like methods
        (<code>operator->()</code> and <code>operator*()</code>), it does
        <em>not</em> work like e.g. the std smart pointer wrappers
        (shared_ptr, unique_ptr, etc.). Internally, the cow_wrapper
        holds a by-value instance of the wrapped object. This is to
        avoid one additional heap allocation, and providing access via
        <code>operator->()</code>/<code>operator*()</code> is because
        <code>operator.()</code> cannot be overridden.

        Regarding thread safety: this wrapper is <em>not</em>
        thread-safe per se, because cow_wrapper has no way of
        synchronizing the potentially many different cow_wrapper
        instances, that reference a single shared value_type
        instance. That said, when passing
        <code>ThreadSafeRefCountingPolicy</code> as the
        <code>MTPolicy</code> parameter, accessing a thread-safe
        pointee through multiple cow_wrapper instances might be
        thread-safe, if the individual pointee methods are
        thread-safe, <em>including</em> pointee's copy
        constructor. Any wrapped object that needs external
        synchronisation (e.g. via an external mutex, which arbitrates
        access to object methods, and can be held across multiple
        object method calls) cannot easily be dealt with in a
        thread-safe way, because, as noted, objects are shared behind
        the client's back.

        @attention if one wants to use the pimpl idiom together with
        cow_wrapper (i.e. put an opaque type into the cow_wrapper),
        then <em>all<em> methods in the surrounding class needs to be
        non-inline (<em>including</em> destructor, copy constructor
        and assignment operator).

        @example
        <pre>
class cow_wrapper_client_impl;

class cow_wrapper_client
{
public:
    cow_wrapper_client();
    cow_wrapper_client( const cow_wrapper_client& );
    cow_wrapper_client( cow_wrapper_client&& );
    ~cow_wrapper_client();

    cow_wrapper_client& operator=( const cow_wrapper_client& );
    cow_wrapper_client& operator=( cow_wrapper_client&& );

    void modify( int nVal );
    int queryUnmodified() const;

private:
    o3tl::cow_wrapper< cow_wrapper_client_impl > maImpl;
};
        </pre>
        and the implementation file would look like this:
        <pre>
class cow_wrapper_client_impl
{
public:
    void setValue( int nVal ) { mnValue = nVal; }
    int getValue() const { return mnValue; }

private:
    int mnValue;
}

    maImpl()
{
}

    maImpl( rSrc.maImpl )
{
}

    maImpl( std::move( rSrc.maImpl ) )
{
}

{
}

{
    maImpl = rSrc.maImpl;
    return *this;

{
    maImpl = std::move( rSrc.maImpl );

{
    maImpl->setValue( nVal );
}

{
    return maImpl->getValue();
