/** Reference-counting pointer to std::istream.
*
* \par Summary:
* This works much like any other reference-counted pointer,
* except that it only <i>optionally</i> owns the pointee. That
* is, it will not necessarily delete the pointee when the
* reference count goes to zero.
*
* \par
* Ownership of a std::istream is passed to an IStreamHandle via a
* <code>std::unique_ptr<std::istream></code>. Ownership of a
* std::istream is passed between IStreamHandle by assignment.
*
* \see IStreamHandle(std::unique_ptr<std::istream>) for passing
* ownership at construction.
* \see IStreamHandle::operator=(std::unique_ptr<std::istream>) for
* passing ownership after construction.
* \see IStreamHandle(std::istream&) for constructing without
* passing ownership
* \see IStreamHandle::operator=(std::istream&) for assigning
* without passing ownership.
*
* \par Justification:
*
* \par
* This class is needed to fix an ownership problem between the
* InputSource and EntityResovler classes. InputSource is a SAX
* class designed to wrap stream objects. Normally, an
* InputSource is constructed with reference to a std::istream
* object. There are two separate use-cases for InputSource which
* lead to conflicting models of std::istream ownership.
*
* \par
* -# When an InputSource is constructed to pass to a parser
* <code>parse()</code> method, the InputSource is owned by
* the client code. When <code>parse()</code> returns, the
* InputSource is no-longer needed and it's stream can be
* destroyed by the client code. This will most likely
* happen when the variable goes out of scope).
* -# When an EntityResolver responds to a
* <code>resolveEntity()</code> request, it must return an
* InputSource. In this case the InputSource, and more
* importantly, the std::istream, is needed by the parser for
* some time after <code>resolveEntity()</code> has returned.
*
* \par
* In case 1, the std::istream in question may be local variable,
* and so the InputSource simply cannot own it.
*
* \par
* In case 2, the std::istream in question cannot be a local
* variable because it must be returned from a method. Since it
* must be destroyed at some time known only to the parser, there
* is no alternative but for the InputSource to own it.
*
* \par Solution:
*
* \par
* To solve this issue, I have created the IStreamHandle and
* modified InputSource. IStreamHandle can behave either as a
* std::istream* <i>or</i> as a reference-counting std::istream*.
* The difference is in <i>ownership</i>:
*
* \par
* If an IStreamHandle is constructed with or assigned a
* std::unique_ptr<std::istream>, it <i>takes ownership</i> of
* the pointee. If an IStreamHandle is constructed with or
* assigned a std::istream&, it <i>does not take
* ownership</i> of the pointee.
*
* \par
* Upon destruction or re-assignment, an IStreamHandle checks
* whether it is the last reference to its pointee, and
* whether it <i>owns</i> its pointee. If both conditions
* are met, the IStreamHandle deletes its pointee.
