/// A sum type over pointer-like types.
///
/// This is a normal tagged union across pointer-like types that uses the low
/// bits of the pointers to store the tag.
///
/// Each member of the sum type is specified by passing a \c
/// PointerSumTypeMember specialization in the variadic member argument list.
/// This allows the user to control the particular tag value associated with
/// a particular type, use the same type for multiple different tags, and
/// customize the pointer-like traits used for a particular member. Note that
/// these *must* be specializations of \c PointerSumTypeMember, no other type
/// will suffice, even if it provides a compatible interface.
///
/// This type implements all of the comparison operators and even hash table
/// support by comparing the underlying storage of the pointer values. It
/// doesn't support delegating to particular members for comparisons.
///
/// It also default constructs to a zero tag with a null pointer, whatever that
/// would be. This means that the zero value for the tag type is significant
/// and may be desirable to set to a state that is particularly desirable to
/// default construct.
///
/// Having a supported zero-valued tag also enables getting the address of a
/// pointer stored with that tag provided it is stored in its natural bit
/// representation. This works because in the case of a zero-valued tag, the
/// pointer's value is directly stored into this object and we can expose the
/// address of that internal storage. This is especially useful when building an
/// `ArrayRef` of a single pointer stored in a sum type.
///
/// There is no support for constructing or accessing with a dynamic tag as
/// that would fundamentally violate the type safety provided by the sum type.

  // pointer. However, we have to carefully access the union due to the active
  // member potentially changing. When we *store* a new value, we directly
  // access the union to allow us to store using the obvious types. However,
