/**
 * This template class calls PipelineCycler::read() in the constructor and
 * PipelineCycler::release_read() in the destructor.  In the interim, it
 * provides a transparent read-only access to the CycleData.
 *
 * Since a lock is held on the data while the instance of this class exists,
 * no other thread may modify any stage of the pipeline during that time.
 * Thus, this class is appropriate to use for cases in which you might want to
 * read and then modify the data.  It is possible to pass an instance of
 * CycleDataLockedReader to the CycleDataWriter constructor, which
 * automatically elevates the read lock into a write lock.
 *
 * It exists as a syntactic convenience to access the data in the CycleData.
 * It also allows the whole system to compile down to nothing if DO_PIPELINING
 * is not defined.
