/*
 * An instance of this class template manages an optional contained
 * borrowed object of type `ObjT`, that is, a borrowed object that may
 * or may not be present.
 *
 * Such an object considers that a `nullptr` libbabeltrace2 object
 * pointer means none. Therefore, using an `OptionalBorrowedObject`
 * isn't more costly, in time and space, as using a libbabeltrace2
 * object pointer in C, but offers the typical C++ optional interface.
 *
 * There's no `bt2s::nullopt` equivalent: just use the default
 * constructor or call reset().
 *
 * There are a constructors an assignment operators which accept an
 * instance of another wrapper object or of another optional borrowed
 * object. For those, static assertions make sure that the assignment
 * would work with borrowed objects, for example:
 *
 *     auto sharedIntVal = createValue(23L);
 *
 *     OptionalBorrowedObject<Value> myVal {*sharedIntVal};
 *
 * This is needed because `OptionalBorrowedObject` only keeps a
 * libbabeltrace2 pointer (`_mLibObjPtr`), therefore it doesn't
 * automatically know the relation between wrapper classes.
