/// \class TfPyObjWrapper
///
/// Boost Python object wrapper.
///
/// Provides a wrapper around hboost::python::object that works correctly for the
/// following basic operations regardless of the GIL state: default construction,
/// copy construction, assignment, (in)equality comparison, hash_value(), and
/// destruction.
///
/// None of those work correctly in the presence of an unlocked GIL for
/// hboost::python::object.  This class only actually acquires the GIL for default
/// construction, destruction and for some (in)equality comparisons.  The other
/// operations do not require taking the GIL.
///
/// This is primarily useful in cases where a hboost::python::object might be
/// destroyed without a locked GIL by a client blind to that fact.  This occurs
/// when a registry, for example, holds type-erased objects.  If one
/// of the type-erased objects in the registry happens to hold a
/// hboost::python::object, that type-erased object must be destroyed while the
/// GIL is held but it's unreasonable to require that the registry know that.
/// This class helps solve that problem.
///
/// This class also provides many of the operators that hboost::python::object
/// provides, by virtue of deriving from hboost::python::api::object_operators<T>.
/// However it is important to note that callers must ensure the GIL is held
/// before using these operators!
