// <synopsis>
// The class is used as <src>CountedPtr<TempLatticeImpl></src> in class
// TempLattice. In that way the making a copy of a TempLattice uses the
// same object underneath.
// This was needed to have a correct implementation of tempClose. Otherwise
// when deleting a copy of a TempLattice, that destructor would delete the
// underlying table and the original TempLattice could not reopen it.
