 *  COM autopointer class which takes care of all required reference counting.
 *
 *  This automatically calls the required basic COM methods on COM pointers
 *  given to it:
 *
 *  --  AddRef() gets called automatically whenever a new COM pointer is assigned
 *      to the ComPtr instance (either in the copy constructor or by assignment);
 *
 *  --  Release() gets called automatically by the destructor and when an existing
 *      object gets released in assignment;
 *
 *  --  QueryInterface() gets called automatically when COM pointers get converted
 *      from one interface to another.
 *
 *  Example usage:
 *
 *  @code
 *
 *  {
 *      ComPtr<IMachine> pMachine = findMachine("blah");         // calls AddRef()
 *      ComPtr<IUnknown> pUnknown = pMachine;                    // calls QueryInterface()
 *  }           # ComPtr destructor of both instances calls Release()
