/// @brief Remote storage for a single item. Implemented as a unique pointer
/// that is never `null`, except when moved from.
///
/// Has the semantics of non-optional `T`.
/// Copies the content on copy, compares by the contained value.
///
/// Use in the following cases:
/// - to create recursive types while maintaining value semantics;
/// - to hide the implementation of a class in cpp;
/// - to prevent the large size or alignment of a field from inflating the size
///   or alignment of an object.
///
/// Use utils::UniqueRef instead:
/// - to add a non-movable field to a movable object;
/// - to own an object of a polymorphic base class.
///
/// Usage example:
/// @snippet utils/box_test.cpp  sample
