//   Create and hold a pointer to Workspace.
//   
//   This class holds a thread-private static instance
//   of the template parameter workspace.
//
//   Note: 
//   The concrete implementation of workspace objects
//   are responsible for instantiating a singleton instance
//   of this pool.
//
//   This class will be extended to recycle workspaces.
//   This can enable their reuse between different threads, 
//   in task-based - or 'on-demand' - simulation.
