+// The LazyInstance<Type, Traits> class manages a single instance of Type,
+// which will be lazily created on the first time it's accessed.  This class is
+// useful for places you would normally use a function-level static, but you
+// need to have guaranteed thread-safety.  The Type constructor will only ever
+// be called once, even if two threads are racing to create the object.  Get()
+// and Pointer() will always return the same, completely initialized instance.
+// When the instance is constructed it is registered with AtExitManager.  The
+// destructor will be called on program exit.
+//
+// LazyInstance is completely thread safe, assuming that you create it safely.
+// The class was designed to be POD initialized, so it shouldn't require a
+// static constructor.  It really only makes sense to declare a LazyInstance as
+// a global variable using the base::LinkerInitialized constructor.
+//
+// LazyInstance is similar to Singleton, except it does not have the singleton
+// property.  You can have multiple LazyInstance's of the same type, and each
+// will manage a unique instance.  It also preallocates the space for Type, as
+// to avoid allocating the Type instance on the heap.  This may help with the
+// performance of creating the instance, and reducing heap fragmentation.  This
+// requires that Type be a complete type so we can determine the size.
+//
+// Example usage:
+//   static LazyInstance<MyClass> my_instance(base::LINKER_INITIALIZED);
+//   void SomeMethod() {
+//     my_instance.Get().SomeMethod();  // MyClass::SomeMethod()
+//
+//     MyClass* ptr = my_instance.Pointer();
+//     ptr->DoDoDo();  // MyClass::DoDoDo
+//   }
