Detailed Description

An implementation-hiding utility class template leveraging the Pimpl idiom.

This file provides a generic wrapper around a modern pointer structure to abstract compilation dependencies via a unique opaque object representation.

Note

Out-of-line member definitions and explicit destructor declarations must accompany compilation firewall boundaries to prevent template parsing of incomplete types.
