99  |  |     //  | 
100  |  |     //  1. `U.value` has correct size and alignment for a value of type `T`  | 
101  |  |     //  2. The `U.value` constructor is not invoked since U's constructor does  | 
102  |  |     //     not do it explicitly.  | 
103  |  |     //  3. The `U.value` destructor is invoked since U's destructor does it  | 
104  |  |     //     explicitly. This makes `U` a kind of RAII wrapper around non default  | 
105  |  |     //     constructible value of T, which is destructed when we leave the  | 
106  |  |     //     scope. We do need to destroy U.value, which is constructed by  | 
107  |  |     //     CommandLineFlag::Read even though we left it in a moved-from state  |
