// BoxedValue is a class to hold pointers of a given type that deletes them when
// the instance goes out of scope, as std::unique_ptr<T> does. The main
// difference with it is that the type T is not part of the class, i.e., this
// isn't a parametric class. The class has a parametric constructor that accepts
// a const T* which will define the type of the object passed on delete.
//
// It is safe to use this class in linked containers such as std::list and
// std::map but the object can't be copied. This means that you need to
// construct the BoxedValue in place using a container method like emplace()
// or move it with std::move().
//
// list<BoxedValue> lst;
// lst.emplace_back(new const int(42));
// lst.emplace_back(new const string("Hello world!"));
//
// map<int, BoxedValue> m;
// m.emplace(123, std::move(BoxedValue(new const string("Hola mundo!"))));
//
// auto it = m.find(42);
// if (it != m.end())
// cout << "m[42] points to " << it->second.value() << endl;
// cout << "m[33] points to " << m[33].value() << endl;
//
// Since copy and assign are not allowed, you can't create a copy of the
// BoxedValue which means that you can only use a reference to it.
//
