A packet consists of a numeric timestamp and a shared pointer to an immutable
payload. The payload can be of any C++ type (See packet_creator module for
the list of the Python types that are supported). The payload's type is also
referred to as the type of the packet. Packets are value classes and can be
copied and moved cheaply. Each copy shares ownership of the payload, with be
copied reference-counting semantics. Each copy has its own timestamp.
The preferred method of creating a Packet is to invoke the methods in the
"packet_creator" module. Packet contents can be retrieved by the methods in
the "packet_getter" module.
