/** \brief OsiRowCut augmented with bookkeeping

  CbcCountRowCut is an OsiRowCut object augmented with bookkeeping
  information: a reference count and information that specifies the
  the generator that created the cut and the node to which it's associated.

  The general principles for handling the reference count are as follows:
  <ul>
    <li> Once it's determined how the node will branch, increment the
	 reference count under the assumption that all children will use
         all cuts currently tight at the node and will survive to be placed
	 in the search tree.
    <li> As this assumption is proven incorrect (a cut becomes loose, or a
	 child is fathomed), decrement the reference count accordingly.
  </ul>
  When all possible uses of a cut have been demonstrated to be unnecessary,
  the reference count (#numberPointingToThis_) will fall to zero. The
  CbcCountRowCut object (and its included OsiRowCut object) are then deleted.
