/**
* # 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;
*
* ...
* };
