//==========================================================================
//      ListOfFloatDistributedArray Class Template
//
//  This is a template list class for holding items that are reference
//  counted in the style of A++ arrays. In particular, any class floatArray to
//  be used with this list must have the following characteristics:
//
//  There must be member functions:
//          floatArray::reference( const floatArray & t ) 
//          floatArray::breakReference()
//  that behave in the same way as A++ arrays.
//  In addition the assignment operator "=" must be deep copy.
//
//  This class keeps an array of pointers to objects of class floatArray. 
//  The array is dynamic so that only 
//  memory and time limit the number of objects stored on the list.
//  
// Reference Counting
//  This class supports two types of reference counting. The suggested
//  way to do reference counting is to use the reference and breakReference
//  member functions as shown in the examples below. If instead you want
//  to keep pointers to ListOfReferenceObjects then you can use the
//  incrementReferenceCount(), decrementReferenceCount() and
//  getReferenceCount() member functions (derived from the ReferenceCounting
//  in order to mange references). It is up to you to call delete when
//  the reference count reaches zero.
//
//  Typical Usage:
//
//     floatArray a(10),b(5);
//     ListOfFloatDistributedArray<floatArray> list,list2;
//     list.addElement();      // add an element
//     list[0].reference(a);   // reference to array a
//     list.addElement(b);     // add element and reference to b in one step
//     list[1]=b;
//     list[0]=1.;             //  same as a=1.;
//
//     list2.reference(list);  // list2 and list are now the same
//     list2[0]=2.;            // same as list[0]=2.;
//     list2.breakReference();
//     list2[0]=5.;            // does not change list[0]
