// non-trivial static destructor. When used for the local static value, this
// type will avoid introducing a static destructor for these types, as they
// will survive until shutdown.
//
// This can be very useful to avoid static destructors, which are heavily
// discouraged. Using this type is unnecessary if `T` already has a trivial
// destructor, and may introduce unnecessary extra overhead.
//
// This type must only be used with static local members within a function,
// which will be enforced by the clang static analysis.
