//	Creates a UI singleton by ignoring the identifying parameter
//	and always generating the same instance via the LLUIFactory interface.
//	Note that since UI elements can be destroyed by their hierarchy, this singleton
//	pattern uses a static pointer to an instance that will be re-created as needed.
//	
//	Usage Pattern:
//	
//	class LLFloaterFoo : public LLFloater, public LLUISingleton<LLFloaterFoo>
//	{
//		friend class LLUISingleton<LLFloaterFoo>;
//		private:
//			LLFloaterFoo(const LLSD& key);
//	};
//	
//	Note that LLUISingleton takes an option VisibilityPolicy parameter that defines
//	how showInstance(), hideInstance(), etc. work.
