/** Copy-on-write shared ptr.
  * Allows to work with shared immutable objects and sometimes unshare and mutate you own unique copy.
  *
  * Usage:
    class Column : public COW<Column>
    {
    private:
        friend class COW<Column>;
        /// Leave all constructors in private section. They will be available through 'create' method.
        Column();
        /// Provide 'clone' method. It can be virtual if you want polymorphic behaviour.
        virtual Column * clone() const;
    public:
        /// Correctly use const qualifiers in your interface.
        virtual ~Column() {}
    };
  * It will provide 'create' and 'mutate' methods.
  * And 'Ptr' and 'MutablePtr' types.
  * Ptr is refcounted pointer to immutable object.
  * MutablePtr is refcounted noncopyable pointer to mutable object.
  * MutablePtr can be assigned to Ptr through move assignment.
  *
  * 'create' method creates MutablePtr: you cannot share mutable objects.
  * To share, move-assign to immutable pointer.
  * 'mutate' method allows to create mutable noncopyable object from immutable object:
  *   either by cloning or by using directly, if it is not shared.
  * These methods are thread-safe.
  *
  * Example:
  *
    /// Creating and assigning to immutable ptr.
    Column::Ptr x = Column::create(1);
    /// Sharing single immutable object in two ptrs.
    Column::Ptr y = x;
    /// Now x and y are shared.
    /// Change value of x.
    {
        /// Creating mutable ptr. It can clone an object under the hood if it was shared.
        Column::MutablePtr mutate_x = std::move(*x).mutate();
        /// Using non-const methods of an object.
        mutate_x->set(2);
        /// Assigning pointer 'x' to mutated object.
        x = std::move(mutate_x);
    }
    /// Now x and y are unshared and have different values.
  * Note. You may have heard that COW is bad practice.
  * Actually it is, if your values are small or if copying is done implicitly.
  * This is the case for string implementations.
  *
  * In contrast, COW is intended for the cases when you need to share states of large objects,
  * (when you usually will use std::shared_ptr) but you also want precise control over modification
  * of this shared state.
  *
  * Caveats:
  * - after a call to 'mutate' method, you can still have a reference to immutable ptr somewhere.
  * - as 'mutable_ptr' should be unique, it's refcount is redundant - probably it would be better
  *   to use std::unique_ptr for it somehow.
