/** Structured, multi-threaded access to a shared state.

    This container combines locking semantics with data access semantics to
    create an alternative to the typical synchronization method of first
    acquiring a lock and then accessing data members.

    With this container, access to the underlying data is only possible after
    first acquiring a lock. The steps of acquiring the lock and obtaining
    a const or non-const reference to the data are combined into one
    RAII style operation.

    There are three types of access:

    - Access
        Provides access to the shared state via a non-const reference or pointer.
        Access acquires a unique lock on the mutex associated with the
        container.

    - ConstAccess
        Provides access to the shared state via a const reference or pointer.
        ConstAccess acquires a shared lock on the mutex associated with the
        container.

    - ConstUnlockedAccess
        Provides access to the shared state via a const reference or pointer.
        No locking is performed. It is the callers responsibility to ensure that
        the operation is synchronized. This can be useful for diagnostics or
        assertions, or for when it is known that no other threads can access
        the data.

    - UnlockedAccess
        Provides access to the shared state via a reference or pointer.
        No locking is performed. It is the callers responsibility to ensure that
        the operation is synchronized. This can be useful for diagnostics or
        assertions, or for when it is known that no other threads can access
        the data.

    Usage example:

    @code

    struct State
    {
        int value1;
        String value2;
    };

    typedef SharedData <State> SharedState;

    SharedState m_state;

    void readExample ()
    {
        SharedState::ConstAccess state (m_state);

        print (state->value1);   // read access
        print (state->value2);   // read access

        state->value1 = 42;      // write disallowed: compile error
    }

    void writeExample ()
    {
        SharedState::Access state (m_state);

        state->value2 = "Label"; // write access, allowed
    }

    @endcode

    Requirements for Value:
        Constructible
        Destructible

    Requirements for SharedMutexType:
        X is SharedMutexType, a is an instance of X:
        X a;                    DefaultConstructible
        X::LockGuardType        Names a type that implements the LockGuard concept.
        X::SharedLockGuardType  Names a type that implements the SharedLockGuard concept.

    @tparam Value The type which the container holds.
    @tparam SharedMutexType The type of shared mutex to use.
