template<class ComponentType>
class Component::SafePointer< ComponentType >
Holds a pointer to some type of Component, which automatically becomes null if the component is deleted.
If you're using a component which may be deleted by another event that's outside of your control, use a SafePointer instead of a normal pointer to refer to it, and you can test whether it's null before using it to see if something has deleted it.
The ComponentType template parameter must be Component, or some subclass of Component.
You may also want to use a WeakReference<Component> object for the same purpose.
