/**
* MemberHolder is a thread-safe handle implementation which supports
* referencing Objects as either Handles or Views. MemberHolder can safely be
* used in place of View but adds the ability to attempt a safe down cast to a
* Handle. This differs from the C++ const_cast in that the down cast will only
* succeed if the MemberHolder had been assigned from a Handle, an assignment
* from a View results in a MemberHolder whose down cast operation will throw
* a ClassCastException.
*
* MemberHolder is not for general use, instead it is a convenience handle type
* which can be used for container like classes, which need to be able to
* contain both Handles and Views.
*
* Note: In the rare case that a MemberHolder is declared via the mutable
*       keyword, the MemberHolder must be informed of this fact by setting
*       fMutable to true during construction.
