/*
 * RangedPtr is a smart pointer restricted to an address range specified at
 * creation.  The pointer (and any smart pointers derived from it) must remain
 * within the range [start, end] (inclusive of end to facilitate use as
 * sentinels).  Dereferencing or indexing into the pointer (or pointers derived
 * from it) must remain within the range [start, end).  All the standard pointer
 * operators are defined on it; in debug builds these operations assert that the
 * range specified at construction is respected.
 *
 * In theory passing a smart pointer instance as an argument can be slightly
 * slower than passing a T* (due to ABI requirements for passing structs versus
 * passing pointers), if the method being called isn't inlined.  If you are in
 * extremely performance-critical code, you may want to be careful using this
 * smart pointer as an argument type.
 *
 * RangedPtr<T> intentionally does not implicitly convert to T*.  Use get() to
 * explicitly convert to T*.  Keep in mind that the raw pointer of course won't
 * implement bounds checking in debug builds.
