/**
    This class provides a convenient way of disposing off a heap object.
    It automatically deletes the enclosed pointer on destruction. For
    example:

    <pre>
        A* a = new A;
        AutoPtr<A> dummy = a;
    </pre>

    When the AutoPtr object destructs, it frees the instance of A.
    This is particularly useful when a function has multiple returns.

    There are two classes here: AutoPtr<> and AutoArrayPtr<>. The
    AutoArrayPtr<> class is used when a pointer must be deleted using the
    array form as shown below:

    <pre>
        delete [] ptr;
    <pre>
