// your singleton appearing.

// We can use the better technique of deleting the methods
// we don't want.

// Note: Scott Meyers mentions in his Effective Modern
// C++ book, that deleted functions should generally
// be public as it results in better error messages
// due to the compilers behavior to check accessibility
// before deleted status
