    //! `std::decay` in libc++ is implemented in a suboptimal way. Since
    //! this is used literally everywhere by the `make<...>` functions, it
    //! is very important to keep this as efficient as possible.
    //!
    //! @note
    //! `std::decay` is still being used in some places in the library.
    //! Indeed, this is a peephole optimization and it would not be wise
    //! to clutter the code with our own implementation of `std::decay`,
    //! except when this actually makes a difference in compile-times.
