/**
 * 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 with
 * MOZ_ASSERT()-style macros, allowing one to write:
 *
 *   DebugOnly<bool> check = func();
 *   MOZ_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.
 *
 * Note that DebugOnly instances still take up one byte of space, plus padding,
 * when used as members of structs.
