* We want to allow returning nullptr from functions returning

* returning raw T*, instead preferring creation of already_AddRefed<T> from
* a reference counting smart pointer.
*
* We address the latter requirement by making the (T*) constructor explicit.
* But |return nullptr| won't consider an explicit constructor, so we need
* another constructor to handle it. Plain old (decltype(nullptr)) doesn't
* cut it, because if nullptr is emulated as __null (with type int or long),
* passing nullptr to an int/long parameter triggers compiler warnings. We
* need a type that no one can pass accidentally; a pointer-to-member-function
* (where no such function exists) does the trick nicely.
*
* That handles the return-value case. What about for locals, argument types,
* and so on? |already_AddRefed<T>(nullptr)| considers both overloads (and
* the (already_AddRefed<T>&&) overload as well!), so there's an ambiguity.
* We can target true nullptr using decltype(nullptr), but we can't target
* emulated nullptr the same way, because passing __null to an int/long
* parameter triggers compiler warnings. So just give up on this, and provide
* this behavior through the default constructor.
*
* We can revert to simply explicit (T*) and implicit (decltype(nullptr)) when
* nullptr no longer needs to be emulated to support the ancient b2g compiler.
* (The () overload could also be removed, if desired, if we changed callers.)
