Class
    Foam::tmp

Description
    A class for managing temporary objects.

    This is a combination of std::shared_ptr (with intrusive ref-counting)
    and a shared_ptr without ref-counting and null deleter.
    This allows the tmp to double as a pointer management and an indirect
    pointer to externally allocated objects.
    In contrast to std::shared_ptr, only a limited number of tmp items
    will ever share a pointer.
