// NeverDestroyed is a smart pointer like class who ensures that the destructor
// for the given object is never called, but doesn't use the heap to allocate it.
// It's useful for static local variables, and can be used like so:
//
// MySharedGlobal& mySharedGlobal()
// {
//   static NeverDestroyed<MySharedGlobal> myGlobal("Hello", 42);
//   return myGlobal;
// }
