    // We are wrapping a union around the value of `T` to serve three purposes:
    //
    //  1. `U.value` has correct size and alignment for a value of type `T`
    //  2. The `U.value` constructor is not invoked since U's constructor does
    //  not
    //     do it explicitly.
    //  3. The `U.value` destructor is invoked since U's destructor does it
    //     explicitly. This makes `U` a kind of RAII wrapper around non default
    //     constructible value of T, which is destructed when we leave the
    //     scope. We do need to destroy U.value, which is constructed by
    //     CommandLineFlag::Read even though we left it in a moved-from state
    //     after std::move.
    //
    // All of this serves to avoid requiring `T` being default constructible.
