 * An instance of this class wraps an optional instance of `ObjT` and
 * manages the reference counting of the underlying libbabeltrace2
 * object.
 *
 * When you move a shared object, it becomes empty, in that operator*()
 * and operator->() will either fail to assert in debug mode or trigger
 * a segmentation fault.
 *
 * The default constructor builds an empty shared object. You may also
 * call the reset() method to make a shared object empty. Check whether
 * or not a shared object is empty with the `bool` operator.
 *
 * `LibObjT` is the direct libbabeltrace2 object type, for example
 * `bt_stream_class` or `const bt_value`.
 *
 * RefFuncsT::get() must accept a `const LibObjT *` value and increment
 * its reference count.
 *
 * RefFuncsT::put() must accept a `const LibObjT *` value and decrement
 * its reference count.
