+/**
+ * # mozilla::Variant
+ *
+ * A variant / tagged union / heterogenous disjoint union / sum-type template
+ * class. Similar in concept to (but not derived from) `boost::variant`.
+ *
+ * Sometimes, you may wish to use a C union with non-POD types. However, this is
+ * forbidden in C++ because it is not clear which type in the union should have
+ * its constructor and destructor run on creation and deletion
+ * respectively. This is the problem that `mozilla::Variant` solves.
+ *
+ * ## Usage
+ *
+ * A `mozilla::Variant` instance is constructed (via move or copy) from one of
+ * its variant types (ignoring const and references). It does *not* support
+ * construction from subclasses of variant types or types that coerce to one of
+ * the variant types.
+ *
+ * Variant<char, uint32_t> v1('a');
+ * Variant<UniquePtr<A>, B, C> v2(MakeUnique<A>());
+ *
+ * Because specifying the full type of a Variant value is often verbose,
+ * AsVariant() can be used to construct a Variant value using type inference in
+ * contexts such as expressions or when returning values from functions. Because
+ * AsVariant() must copy or move the value into a temporary and this cannot
+ * necessarily be elided by the compiler, it's mostly appropriate only for use
+ * with primitive or very small types.
+ *
+ *
+ * Variant<char, uint32_t> Foo() { return AsVariant('x'); }
+ * // ...
+ * Variant<char, uint32_t> v1 = Foo(); // v1 holds char('x').
+ *
+ * All access to the contained value goes through type-safe accessors.
+ *
+ * void
+ * Foo(Variant<A, B, C> v)
+ * {
+ * if (v.is<A>()) {
+ * A& ref = v.as<A>();
+ * ...
+ * } else {
+ * ...
+ * }
+ * }
+ *
+ * Attempting to use the contained value as type `T1` when the `Variant`
+ * instance contains a value of type `T2` causes an assertion failure.
+ *
+ * A a;
+ * Variant<A, B, C> v(a);
+ * v.as<B>(); // <--- Assertion failure!
+ *
+ * Trying to use a `Variant<Ts...>` instance as some type `U` that is not a
+ * member of the set of `Ts...` is a compiler error.
+ *
+ * A a;
+ * Variant<A, B, C> v(a);
+ * v.as<SomeRandomType>(); // <--- Compiler error!
+ *
+ * Additionally, you can turn a `Variant` that `is<T>` into a `T` by moving it
+ * out of the containing `Variant` instance with the `extract<T>` method:
+ *
+ * Variant<UniquePtr<A>, B, C> v(MakeUnique<A>());
+ * auto ptr = v.extract<UniquePtr<A>>();
+ *
+ * Finally, you can exhaustively match on the contained variant and branch into
+ * different code paths depending which type is contained. This is preferred to
+ * manually checking every variant type T with is<T>() because it provides
+ * compile-time checking that you handled every type, rather than runtime
+ * assertion failures.
+ *
+ * // Bad!
+ * char* foo(Variant<A, B, C, D>& v) {
+ * if (v.is<A>()) {
+ * return ...;
+ * } else if (v.is<B>()) {
+ * return ...;
+ * } else {
+ * return doSomething(v.as<C>()); // Forgot about case D!
+ * }
+ * }
+ *
+ * // Good!
+ * struct FooMatcher
+ * {
+ * // The return type of all matchers must be identical.
+ * char* match(A& a) { ... }
+ * char* match(B& b) { ... }
+ * char* match(C& c) { ... }
+ * char* match(D& d) { ... } // Compile-time error to forget D!
+ * }
+ * char* foo(Variant<A, B, C, D>& v) {
+ * return v.match(FooMatcher());
+ * }
+ *
+ * ## Examples
+ *
+ * A tree is either an empty leaf, or a node with a value and two children:
+ *
+ * struct Leaf { };
+ *
+ * template<typename T>
+ * struct Node
+ * {
+ * T value;
+ * Tree<T>* left;
+ * Tree<T>* right;
+ * };
+ *
+ * template<typename T>
+ * using Tree = Variant<Leaf, Node<T>>;
+ *
+ * A copy-on-write string is either a non-owning reference to some existing
+ * string, or an owning reference to our copy:
+ *
+ * class CopyOnWriteString
+ * {
+ * Variant<const char*, UniquePtr<char[]>> string;
+ *
+ * ...
