// Purpose: class for keeping track of all the references that exist to an object.  When the object
// being referenced is freed, all of the references pointing at it will become null.
//
// To Use:
//   Add a DECLARE_REFERENCED_CLASS to the class that you want to use CutlReferences with.
//   Replace pointers to that class with CUtlReferences.
//   Check these references for null in appropriate places.
//
//  NOTE : You can still happily use pointers instead of references where you want to - these
//  pointers will not magically become null like references would, but if you know no one is going
//  to delete the underlying object during a partcular section of code, it doesn't
//  matter. Basically, CUtlReferences don't rely on every use of an object using one.
