//     Function: GlobalPointerRegistry::get_pointer

//               associated, returns NULL.

//       Access: Public, Static
//  Description: Associates the given pointer with the indicated
//               TypeHandle.  It is an error to call this with a NULL
//               pointer, or to call this function more than once with

//               clear_pointer).

//     Function: GlobalPointerRegistry::clear_pointer
//       Access: Public, Static
//  Description: Removes the association of the given pointer with the
//               indicated TypeHandle.  Subsequent calls to
//               get_pointer() with this TypeHandle will return NULL,
//               until another call to store_pointer() is made.

//       Access: Private, Static
//  Description: Returns a pointer to the single GlobalPointerRegistry
//               object.  If the object does not yet exist, creates
//               it.  This indirection is used instead of making all
//               the data members of GlobalPointerRegistry static, so
//               that we don't have to worry about order dependency
//               during static init time.
