/// A wrapper type that tells the compiler that the contents might not be valid.
///
/// This is necessary mainly when `T` contains a reference. In that case, the
/// compiler will sometimes assume that the reference is always valid; in some
/// cases it will assume this even after the destructor of `T` runs. For
/// example, when a reference is used as a function argument, then the compiler
/// will assume that the reference is valid until the function returns, even if
/// the reference is destroyed during the function. When the reference is used
/// as part of a self-referential struct, that assumption can be false. Wrapping
/// the reference in this type prevents the compiler from making that
/// assumption.
///
/// # Invariants
///
/// The `MaybeUninit` will always contain a valid value until the destructor runs.
