// the following help macro is to guarentee that certain coded
// is not removed by over-eager linker optimiser.  In certain cases
// we create static objects must be created but are actually never
// referenced - creation has a side-effect such as global registration
// which is important to us. We make an effort to refer these objects
// so that a smart linker won't remove them as being unreferenced.
// In microsoft compilers, inlining the code that does the referring
// means the code gets lost and the static object is not included
// in the library and hence never registered.  This manifests itself
// in an ungraceful crash at runtime when (and only when) built in
// release mode.
