/// single object. The intention is to be able to pass around a pointer to the
/// superclass SimplePolymorphicContainerBase to methods that cannot know the
/// full type of the object at run-time. This is roughly equivalent to passing
/// around a void* except that C++ will capture run-time type information that
/// allows for safer dynamic downcasts.
