Detailed Description

       The AtomicCounter class offers thread-safe manipulation of an integer counter.

       These are commonly used for building thread-safe 'reference' counters for C++ classes. The
       AtomicCounter depends on the platforms support for 'atomic' integer operations, and can
       alternately substitute a 'mutex' if no atomic support exists.
