The code uses Counter instances to work around the std::shared_ptr API
design where one cannot really manipulate the reference count from
outside. In this context, we however need to ensure that a
shared_ptr created from within a Trees context reuses the same
counter, and that the underlying data structure only gets deleted when
the enclosing Trees structure is destroyed.
@mislavn , please check issue #366 and ensure that this patch doesn't make the situation worse.
