Detailed Description
Container for specifying Frame IDs. We do not want to use a generic integer type for this, because it may lead to bugs where a plain integer is mistaken for a FrameID. This also allows the compiler to always perform argument deduction successfully.
Physics engines may embed a std::shared_ptr which can be used for reference counting. That way, a FrameID will remain valid for as long as the user is referencing it. The member function IsReferenceCounted() can be used to check whether the physics engine is performing reference counting. The behavior of a frame which has been removed from simulation but not deleted is undefined.

◆ ID()
| std::size_t ID | ( | ) | const |
The numerical value of this FrameID's ID number.

◆ IsReferenceCounted()
| bool IsReferenceCounted | ( | ) | const |
This will return true if this Frame is being reference-counted, and false otherwise.
FrameIDs that are not reference-counted may become invalid before the end of their lifetime.
FrameIDs that are reference-counted will remain valid throughout their lifetime, but if the frames that they correspond to are removed from the simulation, then the behavior of those frames will depend on the physics engine implementation. Physics engines are allowed to refuse to remove any frames which are actively being referenced.
Note that physics engines may choose to reference count some of the FrameIDs and not others, so this property must be accounted for per FrameID. For example, some engines may support reference-counting for Link frames but not Joint frames. Engine features can be used to ensure that your physics engine of choice will behave as desired.
