// A generic container class which can hold data of any type.  The type of
// the data is specified when accessing the data (using Packet::Get<T>()).
//
// The Packet is implemented as a reference-counted pointer.  This means
// that copying Packets creates a fast, shallow copy.  Packets are
// copyable, movable, and assignable.  Packets can be stored in STL
// containers.  A Packet may optionally contain a timestamp.
//
// The preferred method of creating a Packet is with MakePacket<T>().
// The Packet typically owns the object that it contains, but
// PointToForeign allows a Packet to be constructed which does not
// own its data.
//
// This class is thread compatible.
