// A stupid pointer class that initializes to null and can be copy
// assigned. This is for historical reasons: unique_ptrs to ChartItems
// were replaced by plain pointers. Instead of nulling the plain pointers
// in the constructors, use this. Ultimately, we might think about making
// this thing smarter, once removal of individual ChartItems is implemented.
