        WARNING:

        the copy ctor and assignment operators change the passed in object
        even although it is declared as "const", so:

        a) it shouldn't be really const
        b) you shouldn't use it afterwards (or know that it was reset)

        This is very ugly but is unfortunately needed to make the normal use\
        of wxCharTypeBuffer buffer objects possible and is very similar to what
        std::auto_ptr<> does (as if it were an excuse...)
