// Simple wrapper around a pointer to allow zero-copy serialization of a
// nullable type.
//
// Traits for nullable fields typically return `const std::optional<T>&` or
// `std::optional<T>&`. However, if the field is not already an
// `std::optional`, this can be inefficient:
//
//   static std::optional<std::string> nullable_field_getter(
//       const MyType& input) {
//     // Bad: copies input.data() to populate `std::optional`.
//     return std::make_optional(
//         input.has_valid_data() ? input.data() : std::nullopt);
//   }
//
// Using this wrapper allows this to be serialized without additional copies:
//
//   static mojo::OptionalAsPointer<std::string> nullable_field_getter(
//       const MyType& input) {
//     return mojo::OptionalAsPointer(
//         input.has_valid_data() ? &input.data() : nullptr);
//   }
//
// N.B. The original prototype for reducing copies in serialization attempted to
// use C++ pointers directly; unfortunately, some Windows SDK opaque handle
// types are actually defined as a pointer to a struct, which confused the Mojo
// serialization traits. While it is possible to block the problematic types,
// having an actual type makes the intent more explicit.
