Fix missing scope-resolution colon in bIsRef template variable

[MrKarver]

Small fix while studying the kernel. In CIDKernel_BaseInlines.hpp, the bIsRef template variable uses a single colon instead of the scope-resolution operator:

template <typename T> constexpr tCIDLib::TBoolean bIsRef = IsRef<T>:bState;
//                                                              ^ should be ::

Every sibling trait variable in the same file uses ::bState (bIsConst, bIsPointer, bIsNumeric, etc.), so this is just a typo — corrected to IsRef<T>::bState.

Thanks for open-sourcing CIDLib and CQC. I'm building on it actively and have a lot of respect for the work. More to come.

Dean, I mostly opened this as an excuse to say thank you.

I've been building on CIDLib and CQC seriously. Driver work, a native outbound WebSocket client, integrations with UniFi and others. The more time I spend in the code, the more I understand what you meant when you said it could be more than an automation system. It's a remarkable body of work.

If you're still around and open to it, I'd love to contribute more some genuine bug fixes in the WebSocket engine, and new capability I think has value for anyone on the codebase. And if you've stepped away, I completely understand. I just wanted you to know the work is still being used and respected, and that someone's picking up the torch.

Either way: thank you for putting decades into this and then giving it to the world.

Thanks for the kind words. I've really moved on at this point. I'm off in Rust world now, sort of doing the same thing, but back 20 years earlier in the process, so just messing with general purpose code like CIDLib in a Rust context. if you want to fork it and move it forward and build up some other contributors and all that, you have my blessing.
