     9  *  deleted when its pointer goes out of scope.
       
    10  *  It is non-invasive smart pointer (no reference counter).
       
    11  *  When copied, the copy takes ownership of underlying object
       
    12  *  and original becomes NULL!
       
    13  *  Can be used also for polymorphic data types (interfaces).
