If this object and the specified `rhs` manage the same object, return a reference to this managed pointer; otherwise, destroy the managed object owned by this managed pointer, transfer ownership of the managed object owned by `rhs` to this managed pointer, set this managed pointer to point to the target object referenced by `rhs`, reset `rhs` to empty, and return a reference to this managed pointer. `TARGET_TYPE` must be an accessible and unambiguous base of `BDE_OTHER_TYPE`.
