+// Signature class encapsulates a single line of nm output. This line may be 
+// either an "undefined" name to be resolved, or text or data which resolves 
+// the unknowns. Some of the features of the Signature class are currently 
+// unused, such as owner_, which is anticipation of analysis that may lead to 
+// further code reduction. The premise being that unresolved symbols that are 
+// defined within otherwise unused code should not be resolved. However this 
+// information is not available in the output of nm. Further research is 
+// required.
+// 
+// Signatures are reference counted to avoid duplication.
