/** @file sync-nobug-resource-handle.hpp
 ** Supplement to sync.hpp: manage the storage for NoBug resource handles.
 ** For resource tracking we need storage for each \em usage of a resource, in order
 ** to provide a user handle for this usage situation. I consider this an internal
 ** detail and want to keep it away from the code concerned with the resource itself
 ** (here the object monitor).
 ** 
 ** @todo experimental solution
