 *  @class Object
 *
 *  @brief
 *    This represents a reference-counted object allocated from space contained in an ObjectPool<T, N> object.
 *
 *  @note
 *      Instance of this class may only be constructed using the related ObjectPool class template. The copy constructor and the
 *      assignment operator are deleted. A reference counting system is used to track retentions of instances of this class.
 *      When an object is initially retained, its reference count is one. Additional retentions may increment the reference count.
 *      When the object is released, the reference count is decremented. When the reference count is zero, the object is recycled
 *      back to the pool for reallocation. There is no destructor available. Subclasses must be designed to ensure that all
 *      encapsulated resources are released when the final retention is released and the object is recycled.
 *
 *      While this class is defined as concrete, in conformance with Nest C++ style, it should be regarded as abstract.
