+//
+// The following helper classes are placeholders for a generic "singleton"
+// class. The classes below support usage of singletons, including use in
+// program startup/shutdown code, AS LONG AS there is only one thread
+// running before main() begins, and only one thread running after main()
+// exits.
+//
+// This class is also limited in that it can only provide singleton usage for
+// classes with default constructors.
+//
+
+// The design of this class is somewhat twisted, but can be followed by the
+// calling inheritance. Let us assume that there is some user code that
+// calls "singleton_default<T>::instance()". The following (convoluted)
+// sequence ensures that the same function will be called before main():
+// instance() contains a call to create_object.do_nothing()
+// Thus, object_creator is implicitly instantiated, and create_object
+// must exist.
+// Since create_object is a static member, its constructor must be
+// called before main().
+// The constructor contains a call to instance(), thus ensuring that
+// instance() will be called before main().
+// The first time instance() is called (i.e., before main()) is the
+// latest point in program execution where the object of type T
+// can be created.
+// Thus, any call to instance() will auto-magically result in a call to
+// instance() before main(), unless already present.
+// Furthermore, since the instance() function contains the object, instead
+// of the singleton_default class containing a static instance of the
+// object, that object is guaranteed to be constructed (at the latest) in
+// the first call to instance(). This permits calls to instance() from
+// static code, even if that code is called before the file-scope objects
+// in this file have been initialized.
