// Registry key handles are safely and conveniently wrapped
// in the RegKey resource manager C++ class.
//
// Errors are signaled throwing exceptions of class RegException.
// In addition, there are also some methods named like TryGet...
// (e.g. TryGetDwordValue), that _try_ to perform the given query,
// and return a std::optional value.
// (In particular, on failure, the returned std::optional object
// doesn't contain any value).
//
// Unicode UTF-16 strings are represented using the std::wstring class;
// ATL's CString is not used, to avoid dependencies from ATL or MFC.
//
// Compiler: Visual Studio 2019
// Code compiles cleanly at /W4 on both 32-bit and 64-bit builds.
//
// Requires building in Unicode mode (which is the default since VS2005).

// Safe, efficient and convenient C++ wrapper around HKEY registry key handles.
//
// This class is movable but not copyable.
//
// This class is designed to be very *efficient* and low-overhead, for example:
// non-throwing operations are carefully marked as noexcept, so the C++ compiler
// can emit optimized code.
//
// Moreover, this class just wraps a raw HKEY handle, without any
// shared-ownership overhead like in std::shared_ptr; you can think of this
// class kind of like a std::unique_ptr for HKEYs.
//
// The class is also swappable (defines a custom non-member swap);
// relational operators are properly overloaded as well.
