// LLSingleton implements the getInstance() method part of the Singleton
// pattern. It can't make the derived class constructors protected, though, so
// you have to do that yourself.
//
// There are two ways to use LLSingleton. The first way is to inherit from it
// while using the typename that you'd like to be static as the template
// parameter, like so:
//
//   class Foo: public LLSingleton<Foo>{};
//
//   Foo& instance = Foo::instance();
//
// The second way is to use the singleton class directly, without inheritance:
//
//   typedef LLSingleton<Foo> FooSingleton;
//
//   Foo& instance = FooSingleton::instance();
//
// In this case, the class being managed as a singleton needs to provide an
// initSingleton() method since the LLSingleton virtual method won't be
// available
//
// As currently written, it is not thread-safe.

	 * @brief Immediately delete the singleton.
	 *
	 * A subsequent call to LLProxy::getInstance() will construct a new
	 * instance of the class.
	 *
	 * LLSingletons are normally destroyed after main() has exited and the C++
	 * runtime is cleaning up statically-constructed objects. Some classes
	 * derived from LLSingleton have objects that are part of a runtime system
	 * that is terminated before main() exits. Calling the destructor of those
	 * objects after the termination of their respective systems can cause
	 * crashes and other problems during termination of the project. Using this
	 * method to destroy the singleton early can prevent these crashes.
	 *
	 * An example where this is needed is for a LLSingleton that has an APR
	 * object as a member that makes APR calls on destruction. The APR system is
	 * shut down explicitly before main() exits. This causes a crash on exit.
	 * Using this method before the call to apr_terminate() and NOT calling
	 * getInstance() again will prevent the crash.
