/** @mainpage The Referenced Array Interface
 *
 * The referenced array interface is a dynamically allocated
 * array of data of any type. The array can be shared by
 * multiple objects to avoid data duplication.
 *
 * The array is created once and then any number of
 * the references can be requested. The references are pointers
 * to the array. Each reference must be freed after use.
 * Freeing last reference to the array would free the array's storage.
 *
 * The array does not have any knowledge of the data type
 * of the actual data stored in the array. All elements of the array
 * are of the same size as prescribed by caller when the array is created.
 * The caller can potentially mix different types of data in the array
 * but this should be done with caution.
 *
 * At the moment the interface is not complete.
 * It provides basic functionality required to support other
 * components. In future it might make sense to add entry points
 * to insert and delete elements from the array.
 * Current use cases do not require this kind of
 * functionality so it is left out of the implementation.
 *

 * @brief Enumeration of the delete modes
 *
 * When the array is destroyed each element of the array
 * most likely needs to be freed. Same is true when an element
 * is removed from the array. However the caller might need
 * to do different things with the data depending on whether
 * the array is destroyed or whether the element is removed.
 * This enumeration defines constants that you used to indicate
 * which operation was performed.
