/// \file
/// This header defines support for implementing classes that have
/// some trailing object (or arrays of objects) appended to them. The
/// main purpose is to make it obvious where this idiom is being used,
/// and to make the usage more idiomatic and more difficult to get
/// wrong.
///
/// The TrailingObject template abstracts away the reinterpret_cast,
/// pointer arithmetic, and size calculations used for the allocation
/// and access of appended arrays of objects, and takes care that they
/// are all allocated at their required alignment. Additionally, it
/// ensures that the base type is final -- deriving from a class that
/// expects data appended immediately after it is typically not safe.
///
/// Users are expected to derive from this template, and provide
/// numTrailingObjects implementations for each trailing type except
/// the last, e.g. like this sample:
///
/// \code
/// class VarLengthObj : private TrailingObjects<VarLengthObj, int, double> {
///   friend TrailingObjects;
///
///   unsigned NumInts, NumDoubles;
///   size_t numTrailingObjects(OverloadToken<int>) const { return NumInts; }
///  };
/// \endcode
///
/// You can access the appended arrays via 'getTrailingObjects', and
/// determine the size needed for allocation via
/// 'additionalSizeToAlloc' and 'totalSizeToAlloc'.
///
/// All the methods implemented by this class are are intended for use
/// by the implementation of the class, not as part of its interface
/// (thus, private inheritance is suggested).
