/**
   Acts like a pointer to a value of type ValueType (i.e.,
   ValueType*), but can operate through accessor methods as well as on
   a value in memory.  This is useful for implementing scripting
   languages and other applications that need to connect existing APIs
   by reference.

   Because the accessors require values to be passed by value (instead of by reference)
   this is primarily useful for objects whose memory size is small.

   <pre>
   class Foo {
   public:
      void setEnabled(bool b);
      bool getEnabled() const;
   };

   Foo  f;
   bool b;
   
   Pointer<bool> p1(&b);
   Pointer<bool> p2(&f, &Foo::getEnabled, &Foo::setEnabled);

   *p1 = true;
   *p2 = false;
   *p2 = *p1; \/\/ Value assignment
   p2 = p1; \/\/ Pointer aliasing

   \/\/ Or, equivalently:
   p1.setValue(true);
   p2.setValue(false);

   p2.setValue(p1.getValue());
   p2 = p1;
   </pre>

   <i>Note:</i> Because of the way that dereference is implemented, you cannot pass <code>*p</code> through a function
   that takes varargs (...), e.g., <code>printf("%d", *p)</code> will produce a compile-time error.  Instead use
   <code>printf("%d",(bool)*p)</code> or <code>printf("%d", p.getValue())</code>.
