    This wrapper is used to specify a pilfer constructor
    overload.

    A pilfer constructor accepts a single argument
    of type @ref pilfered and throws nothing:

    @code
    struct T
    {
        T( pilfered<T> ) noexcept;

    @endcode

    @note

    The constructor should not be marked explicit.

/** Indicate that an object `t` may be pilfered from.

    A <em>pilfer</em> operation is the construction
    of a new object of type `T` from an existing
    object `t`. After the construction, the only
    valid operation on the pilfered-from object is
    destruction. This permits optimizations beyond
    those available for a move-construction, as the
    pilfered-from object is not required to be in
    a "usable" state.
\n
    This is used similarly to `std::move`.

    @par Example

    A pilfer constructor accepts a single argument
    of type @ref pilfered and throws nothing:

    @code
    struct T
    {
        T( pilfered<T> ) noexcept;
    };
    @endcode

    Pilfer construction is performed using @ref pilfer :

    @code
    {
        T t1;                       // default construction
        T t2( pilfer( t1 ) );       // pilfer-construct from t1

        // At this point, t1 may only be destroyed
    }
    @endcode

    @see @ref pilfered, @ref is_pilfer_constructible,
