/// \class sf::NonCopyable
/// \ingroup system
///
/// This class makes its instances non-copyable, by explicitely
/// disabling its copy constructor and its assignment operator.
///
/// To create a non-copyable class, simply inherit from
/// sf::NonCopyable.
///
/// The type of inheritance (public or private) doesn't matter,
/// the copy constructor and assignment operator are declared private
/// in sf::NonCopyable so they will end up being inaccessible in both
/// cases. Thus you can use a shorter syntax for inheriting from it
/// see below).
///
/// Usage example:
/// \code
/// class MyNonCopyableClass : sf::NonCopyable
/// {
///     ...
/// };
/// \endcode
///
/// Deciding whether the instances of a class can be copied
/// or not is a very important design choice. You are strongly
/// encouraged to think about it before writing a class,
/// and to use sf::NonCopyable when necessary to prevent
/// many potential future errors when using it. This is also
/// a very important indication to users of your class.
