/// \brief Represents either an error or a value T.
///
/// ErrorOr<T> is a pointer-like class that represents the result of an
/// operation. The result is either an error, or a value of type T. This is
/// designed to emulate the usage of returning a pointer where nullptr indicates
/// failure. However instead of just knowing that the operation failed, we also
/// have an error_code and optional user data that describes why it failed.
///
/// It is used like the following.
/// \code
///   ErrorOr<Buffer> getBuffer();
///
///   auto buffer = getBuffer();
///   if (error_code ec = buffer.getError())
///     return ec;
///   buffer->write("adena");
/// \endcode
///
///
/// Implicit conversion to bool returns true if there is a usable value. The
/// unary * and -> operators provide pointer like access to the value. Accessing
/// the value when there is an error has undefined behavior.
///
/// When T is a reference type the behavior is slightly different. The reference
/// is held in a std::reference_wrapper<std::remove_reference<T>::type>, and
/// there is special handling to make operator -> work as if T was not a
/// reference.
///
/// T cannot be a rvalue reference.
