    @ingroup Command FunctorExecutor
    @brief Typedefs and definitions of ExecutorPtr, ExecutorStaticPtr, and ExecutorMemberPtr

    Instances of orxonox::Executor are usually managed by an std::shared_ptr. This ensures
    that Executors will be destroyed after usage. To make things easier, there's a typedef
    that defines ExecutorPtr as std::shared_ptr<Executor>.

    Because there's not only orxonox::Executor, but also orxonox::ExecutorStatic, and
    orxonox::ExecutorMember, the shared pointers need to store them all and also reflect
    their hierarchy - ExecutorStatic and ExecutorMember should not be mixed, but both can
    be converted to Executor. This is achieved by using orxonox::SharedChildPtr.

    Because it's not possible to use a typedef for a template, we have to define the
    helper class ExecutorMemberPtr<T> that makes it easier to use ExecutorMember.
