## Detailed Description

### template\<class Type\>

class zipios::SimpleSmartPointer\< Type \>" **SimpleSmartPointer** is a simple reference counting smart pointer template.

The type pointed to must keep a reference count that is accessible through the two methods void ref() const and unsigned int unref() const. The type must also handle the reference count properly. The easiest way to do that is to use the **ReferenceCount** template class.
