## SmartPointer access
SmartPointer is a class that is used to hold a reference to another object. It is a template class that can be used to hold a reference to any object that is derived from uLib::Object. It is a smart pointer because it will automatically delete the object when it is no longer needed. It is also a smart pointer because it will automatically update the object when it is no longer needed.
SmartPointer is a class that is used to hold a reference to another object. It is a template class that can be used to hold a reference to any object as a shared_ptr.
The ObjectContext is responsible to keep track of all the objects that are added to it and to provide a way to access them, but also it holds the SmartPointer instances that point to the objects that are added to it. In this way Objects added to a Context are disposed only when the context is destroyed.
For this reason the access to a object context for a Object via Get/Set is done using the SmartPointer instances.
