/** Allow to store and read-only usage of an object in several threads,
* and to atomically replace an object in another thread.
* The replacement is atomic and reading threads can work with different versions of an object.
*
* Usage:
* MultiVersion<T> x;
* - on data update:
* x.set(new value);
* - on read-only usage:
* {
* MultiVersion<T>::Version current_version = x.get();
* // use *current_version
* } // now we finish own current version; if the version is outdated and no one else is using it - it will be destroyed.
*
* All methods are thread-safe.
