  //  <li> The most important is resource management. In case of an exception,
  //       the hid will automatically be closed by the destructor.
  //  <li> A hid is a kind of pointer and should not be copied. These classes
  //       forbid making a copy, but make it possible to use them in a
  //       shared pointer context.
