/* These scoped pointers are *not* assignable and cannot be used
   within a container.  Look for wxDECLARE_SHARED_PTR for this
   functionality.

   In addition, the type being used *must* be complete at the time
   that wxDEFINE_SCOPED_* is called or a compiler error will result.
   This is because the class checks for the completeness of the type
   being used.
