/*
 * 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.
