//
// C++ objects are represented in Python by CPPInstances, which encapsulate
// them using either a pointer (normal), pointer-to-pointer (kIsReference set),
// or as an owned value (kIsValue set). Objects held as reference are never
// owned, otherwise the object is owned if kIsOwner is set.
//
// In addition to encapsulation, CPPInstance offers rudimentary comparison
// operators (based on pointer value and class comparisons); stubs (with lazy
// lookups) for numeric operators; and a representation that prints the C++
// pointer values, rather than the PyObject* ones as is the default.
//
// Smart pointers have the underlying type as the Python type, but store the
// pointer to the smart pointer. They carry a pointer to the Python-sode smart
// class for dereferencing to get to the actual instance pointer.
 
 
//- private helpers ----------------------------------------------------------

// instance type. To not have normal use of CPPInstance take extra memory, this
// extended data can slot in place of fObject for those use cases.
