namespace QuantLib {

    //! Basic support for the singleton pattern.
    /*! The typical use of this class is:

        \code
        class Foo : public Singleton<Foo> {
            friend class Singleton<Foo>;
          private:
            Foo() {}
          public:
            ...
        };
        \endcode

        which, albeit sub-optimal, frees one from the concerns of creating and managing the unique instance
        and can serve later as a single implemementation point should synchronization features be added.

        Global can be used to distinguish Singletons that are local to a session (Global = false) or that are global
        across all sessions (B = true).  This is only relevant if QL_ENABLE_SESSIONS is enabled.

        Notice that the creation and retrieval of (local or global) singleton instances through instance() is thread
        safe, but obviously subsequent operations on the singleton have to be synchronized within the singleton
        implementation itself.
