    @brief
        Base for scoped singleton classes.
        A Scoped singleton creates itself if the scope is active and getInstance() is called.
        Destroys itself if the scope is deactivated.

        Usage:
        Inherit publicly from ScopedSingleton<MyClass, scope> and provide access to
        MyClass::singletonPtr_s.
        This can easily be done with a friend declaration.

        See @ref UtilPrereqs.h for a list of scopes (ScopeID::Value).
