// NonDereferenceable<T> wraps a raw pointer value of type T*, but prevents
// dereferencing.
//
// The main use case is for pointers that referencing memory that may not
// contain a valid object, either because the object has already been freed, or
// is under active construction or destruction (and hence parts of it may be
// uninitialized or destructed.)
// Such a pointer may still be useful, e.g., for its numeric value for
// logging/debugging purposes, which may be accessed with `value()`.
// Using NonDereferenceable with such pointers will make this intent clearer,
// and prevent misuses.
//
// Note that NonDereferenceable is only a wrapper and is NOT an owning pointer,
// i.e., it will not release/free the object.
//
// NonDereferenceable allows conversions between compatible pointer types, e.g.,
// to navigate a class hierarchy and identify parent/sub-objects. Note that the
// converted pointers stay safely NonDereferenceable.
//
// Use of NonDereferenceable is required to avoid errors from sanitization tools
// like `clang++ -fsanitize=vptr`, and should prevent false positives while
// pointers are manipulated within NonDereferenceable objects.
