* DebugOnly contains a value of type T, but only in debug builds. In
* release builds, it does not contain a value. This helper is
* intended to be used along with ASSERT()-style macros, allowing one
* to write
*
* DebugOnly<bool> check = Func();
* ASSERT(check);
*
* more concisely than declaring |check| conditional on #ifdef DEBUG,
* but also without allocating storage space for |check| in release
* builds.
*
* DebugOnly instances can only be coerced to T in debug builds; in
* release builds, they don't have a value so type coercion is not
* well defined.
