The scope for o3tl is admittedly kind of ambitious, as it should contain "...very basic (template)
functionality, comparable to what's provided by boost or stl, but specific to OOo (what comes to mind

+- `git:o3tl/inc/o3tl/cow_wrapper.hxx`

+ A copy-on-write wrapper.

+- `git:o3tl/inc/o3tl/lazy_update.hxx`

+ This template collects data in input type, and updates the output type with the given update functor,
+ but only if the output is requested. Useful if updating is expensive, or input changes frequently, but
+ output is only comparatively seldom used.
