+/*
+ * Maybe is a container class which contains either zero or one elements. It
+ * serves two roles. It can represent values which are *semantically* optional,
+ * augmenting a type with an explicit 'Nothing' value. In this role, it provides
+ * methods that make it easy to work with values that may be missing, along with
+ * equality and comparison operators so that Maybe values can be stored in
+ * containers. Maybe values can be constructed conveniently in expressions using
+ * type inference, as follows:
+ *
+ * void doSomething(Maybe<Foo> aFoo) {
+ * if (aFoo) // Make sure that aFoo contains a value...
+ * aFoo->takeAction(); // and then use |aFoo->| to access it.
+ * } // |*aFoo| also works!
+ *
+ * doSomething(Nothing()); // Passes a Maybe<Foo> containing no value.
+ * doSomething(Some(Foo(100))); // Passes a Maybe<Foo> containing |Foo(100)|.
+ *
+ * You'll note that it's important to check whether a Maybe contains a value
+ * before using it, using conversion to bool, |isSome()|, or |isNothing()|. You
+ * can avoid these checks, and sometimes write more readable code, using
+ * |valueOr()|, |ptrOr()|, and |refOr()|, which allow you to retrieve the value
+ * in the Maybe and provide a default for the 'Nothing' case. You can also use
+ * |apply()| to call a function only if the Maybe holds a value, and |map()| to
+ * transform the value in the Maybe, returning another Maybe with a possibly
+ * different type.
+ *
+ * Maybe's other role is to support lazily constructing objects without using
+ * dynamic storage. A Maybe directly contains storage for a value, but it's
+ * empty by default. |emplace()|, as mentioned above, can be used to construct a
+ * value in Maybe's storage. The value a Maybe contains can be destroyed by
+ * calling |reset()|; this will happen automatically if a Maybe is destroyed
+ * while holding a value.
+ *
+ * It's a common idiom in C++ to use a pointer as a 'Maybe' type, with a null
+ * value meaning 'Nothing' and any other value meaning 'Some'. You can convert
+ * from such a pointer to a Maybe value using 'ToMaybe()'.
+ *
+ * Maybe is inspired by similar types in the standard library of many other
+ * languages (e.g. Haskell's Maybe and Rust's Option). In the C++ world it's
+ * very similar to std::optional, which was proposed for C++14 and originated in
+ * Boost. The most important differences between Maybe and std::optional are:
+ *
+ * - std::optional<T> may be compared with T. We deliberately forbid that.
+ * - std::optional allows in-place construction without a separate call to
+ * |emplace()| by using a dummy |in_place_t| value to tag the appropriate
+ * constructor.
+ * - std::optional has |valueOr()|, equivalent to Maybe's |valueOr()|, but
+ * lacks corresponding methods for |refOr()| and |ptrOr()|.
+ * - std::optional lacks |map()| and |apply()|, making it less suitable for
+ * functional-style code.
+ * - std::optional lacks many convenience functions that Maybe has. Most
+ * unfortunately, it lacks equivalents of the type-inferred constructor
+ * functions |Some()| and |Nothing()|.
+ *
+ * N.B. GCC has missed optimizations with Maybe in the past and may generate
+ * extra branches/loads/stores. Use with caution on hot paths; it's not known
+ * whether or not this is still a problem.
