  \class pimpl_ptr:
  \ingroup core smartptr
  \brief Owning pointer for private implementations
  \since_c 2.1

  (The exception safety of this class has not been evaluated yet.)

  pimpl_ptr is a smart immutable pointer, which owns the contained object. Unlike other smart pointers,
  it creates a standard constructed object when instanciated via the 
  \link pimpl_ptr() standard constructor\endlink.
  Additionally, pimpl_ptr respects constness of the pointer object and returns \c const \c T* for
  a const pimpl_ptr object.

  The content of a pimpl_ptr cannot be changed during it's lifetime.

  \section general-use General Use

  The general use case of pimpl_ptr is the "Pimpl Idiom", i.e. hiding the private implementation of a class
  from the user's compiler which see \c MyClass as

  \code
  class MyClass
  {
  public:
      MyClass();
      ~MyClass();

      // public class API
      int value() const;

  private:
      class Private; // defined later
      kdtools::pimpl_ptr< Private > d;
  };
  \endcode

  but not the private parts of it. These can only be seen (and accessed) by the code knowing \c MyClass::Private:

  \code
  class MyClass::Private
  {
  public:
      int value;
  };

  MyClass::MyClass()
  {
      // d was automatically filled with new Private
      d->value = 42;
  }

  MyClass::~MyClass()
  {
      // the content of d gets deleted automatically
  }

  int MyClass::value() const
  {
      // access the private part:
      // since MyClass::value() is const, the returned pointee is const, too
      return d->value;
  }
  \endcode
