-- WARNINGS --
-- ========== --
-- 1) DO NOT instantiate this package for a controlled type. If you
-- do, at best finalization will not work correctly. At worst, you
-- will crash the entire process.
-- 2) DO NOT instantiate and use Unchecked_Deallocation for the type
-- Shared_Access belonging to an instantiation of this package. If
-- you do, you are likely to end up corrupting the heap, and possibly
-- crashing the entire process.
