/**
* This class maintains a one-to-one mapping from TypeHandle to a void *
* pointer. Its purpose is to store a pointer to some class data for a given
* class.
*
* Normally, one would simply use a static data member to store class data.
* However, when the static data is associated with a template class, the
* dynamic loader may have difficulty in properly resolving the statics.
*
* Consider: class foo<int> defines a static member, _a. There should be only
* one instance of _a shared between all instances of foo<int>, and there will
* be a different instance of _a shared between all instances of foo<float>.
*
* Now suppose that two different shared libraries instantiate foo<int>. In
* each .so, there exists a different foo<int>::_a. It is the loader's job to
* recognize this and collapse them together when both libraries are loaded.
* This usually works, but sometimes it doesn't, and you end up with two
* different instances of foo<int>::_a; some functions see one instance, while
* others see the other. We have particularly seen this problem occur under
* Linux with gcc.
*
* This class attempts to circumvent the problem by managing pointers to data
* based on TypeHandle. Since the TypeHandle will already be unique based on
* the string name supplied to the init_type() function, it can be used to
* differentiate foo<int> from foo<float>, while allowing different instances
* of foo<int> to guarantee that they share the same static data.
