/*----------------------------------------------------------------------
  
OrphanHandle: Non-owning "smart pointer" for reference to EDProducts.

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

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

OrphanHandles can have:
  -- Product pointer null and id == 0;
  -- Product pointer valid and id != 0;

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