    tests/constructor_stats.h -- framework for printing and tracking object
    instance lifetimes in example/test code.

This header provides a few useful tools for writing examples or tests that want to check and/or
display object instance lifetimes.  It requires that you include this header and add the following
function calls to constructors:

    class MyClass {
        MyClass() { ...; print_default_created(this); }
        ~MyClass() { ...; print_destroyed(this); }
        MyClass(const MyClass &c) { ...; print_copy_created(this); }
        MyClass(MyClass &&c) { ...; print_move_created(this); }
        MyClass(int a, int b) { ...; print_created(this, a, b); }
        MyClass &operator=(const MyClass &c) { ...; print_copy_assigned(this); }
        MyClass &operator=(MyClass &&c) { ...; print_move_assigned(this); }

        ...
    }

You can find various examples of these in several of the existing testing .cpp files.  (Of course
you don't need to add any of the above constructors/operators that you don't actually have, except
for the destructor).

Each of these will print an appropriate message such as:

    ### MyClass @ 0x2801910 created via default constructor
    ### MyClass @ 0x27fa780 created 100 200
    ### MyClass @ 0x2801910 destroyed
    ### MyClass @ 0x27fa780 destroyed

You can also include extra arguments (such as the 100, 200 in the output above, coming from the
value constructor) for all of the above methods which will be included in the output.

For testing, each of these also keeps track the created instances and allows you to check how many
of the various constructors have been invoked from the Python side via code such as:

    from pybind11_tests import ConstructorStats
    cstats = ConstructorStats.get(MyClass)
    print(cstats.alive())
    print(cstats.default_constructions)

Note that `.alive()` should usually be the first thing you call as it invokes Python's garbage
collector to actually destroy objects that aren't yet referenced.

For everything except copy and move constructors and destructors, any extra values given to the
print_...() function is stored in a class-specific values list which you can retrieve and inspect
from the ConstructorStats instance `.values()` method.

In some cases, when you need to track instances of a C++ class not registered with pybind11, you
need to add a function returning the ConstructorStats for the C++ class; this can be done with:

    m.def("get_special_cstats", &ConstructorStats::get<SpecialClass>, py::return_value_policy::reference)

Finally, you can suppress the output messages, but keep the constructor tracking (for
inspection/testing in python) by using the functions with `print_` replaced with `track_` (e.g.
`track_copy_created(this)`).
