/*----------------------------------------------------------------------

Handle: Shared "smart pointer" for reference to EDProducts and
their Provenances.

This is a very preliminary version, and lacks safety features and
elegance.

If the pointed-to EDProduct or Provenance is destroyed, use of the
Handle becomes undefined. There is no way to query the Handle to
discover if this has happened.

Handles can have:
  -- Product and Provenance pointers both null;
  -- Both pointers valid

To check validity, one can use the isValid() function.

If failedToGet() returns true then the requested data is not available
If failedToGet() returns false but isValid() is also false then no attempt
  to get data has occurred
