//	LLHandles are used to refer to objects whose lifetime you do not control or influence.  
//	Calling get() on a handle will return a pointer to the referenced object or NULL, 
//	if the object no longer exists.  Note that during the lifetime of the returned pointer, 
//	you are assuming that the object will not be deleted by any action you perform, 
//	or any other thread, as normal when using pointers, so avoid using that pointer outside of
//	the local code block.
