I'm a bit new to the Common C++ scene -- is the r1 branch going to be 
shipping as a 1.0.x release or a 1.1.0 release? If it's a 1.0.x, leave 
UberCounter out of the branch.

The reason I didn't design it to be a drop-in replacement is because the 
existing couters were perhaps a bit mmm... random in what they could and 
couldn't do.

I agree that we don't want to rename UberCounter at a later stage.
