6/**
7 * Provides singleton functionality in a modular sort of way. Make this the
8 * base class of any other class and you immediately gain singleton
9 * functionality. Be sure to make your constructor and various functions use
10 * intellegent scoping. Cleanup and instantiation are performed automatically
11 * for you at first use and program exit. There are two things that you must
12 * do when using this template, first is to inherit from it with the name of
13 * your class filling in for T and then make this class a friend of your class.
14 *@code
15 * // Making the Single Singleton:
16 * class Single : public Singleton<Single>
17 * {
18 * friend class Singleton<Single>;
19 * protected:
20 * Single();
21 * ...
22 * };
23 @endcode
24 * You can still add public functions and variables to your new Singleton child
25 * class, but your constructor should be protected (hence the need for the
26 * friend decleration).
