//	class:	CSmartPtr
//
//	Description:
//		This class template is used to encapsulate pointers to interfaces,
//		but in simpler way than com_ptr_t. We do not want exceptions
//		to be thrown on com errors (as com_ptr_t does) (except Release).
//		Instead, we want to process them on our own, yet still have an advantage
//		of proper cleaning upon destruction. Using it significantly simplifies
//		test code.
//
//	Inheritance:
//		None.
