/**
* MemberHandle is a thread-safe handle used by an Object to reference its
* non-const child Objects.
*
* MemberHandles transfer the constness of their guardian Object. When a
* MemberHandle is accessed from within a const method of the enclosing
* "parent" class, it will only provide const access to the Object which it
* references. If the enclosing Object becomes only accessed via views the
* MemberHandle will also automatically, and permanently switch its reference
* type from a handle to a view.
*
* Note: In the rare case that a MemberHandle is declared via the mutable
*       keyword, the MemberHandle must be informed of this fact by setting
*       fMutable to true during construction.
