-<p>The <em>libcult</em> memory management library provides
-non-intrusive reference counter and a couple of smart pointers.</p>
-
-<p>It also overrides and overloads default memory management operators
-(<code>operator new</code> and <code>operator delete</code>) to allow
-special service objects (reference counter being one of them) to be
-constructed in the memory block preceding the instance. This allows
-transparent <em>instrumentation</em> of objects with a special
-functionality like reference counting or locking.</p>
-
-<p>The two flavors of smart pointers are exclusive (called
-<code>Evptr</code>, from <b>e</b>xclusi<b>v</b>e
-<b>p</b>oin<b>t</b>e<b>r</b>) and shared (called <code>Shptr</code>,
-from <b>sh</b>ared <b>p</b>oin<b>t</b>e<b>r</b>) pointers.</p>
-
-<p>The exclusive pointer has semantics similar to <code>std::auto_ptr</code>
-(i.e., exclusive ownership of the object pointed to) except that it performs
-automatic copying of the object pointed to when copied or assigned to another
-exclusive pointer. Built-in copy-on-write optimization eliminates unnecessary
-copying when instances of exclusive pointers are returned from functions or
-stored in containers.</p>
-
-<p>The shared pointer has standard semantics of a reference-counting smart
-pointer.</p>
