/// Implements assorted functions based on compile-time type information.
///
/// TfTypeFunctions<T>::GetRawPtr(T* tPtr) returns tPtr.  A smart-pointer
/// class, such as \c TfRefPtr, may specialize this function to have different
/// behavior.  Note that for a non-pointer type, this returns the address of
/// the object, which allows one to uniformly apply the -> operator for member
/// function calls.
///
/// TfTypeFunctions<T>::ConstructFromRawPtr(T* tPtr) returns tPtr.
/// Pointer-like objects should specialize this function so that given a raw
/// pointer of type T*, they return a smart pointer pointing to that object
/// (see refPtr.h for an example). Essentially, this is the inverse of
/// TfTypeFunctions<T>::GetRawPtr.
