    // ebo<K, V>
    //
    // Building block to implement the Empty Base Optimization (EBO). We
    // use a short name and define it in a short namespace to reduce
    // symbol lengths, since this type is used as a building block for
    // other widely used types such as `hana::pair`.
    //
    // When available, we use compiler intrinsics to reduce the number
    // of instantiations.
    //
    // `ebo` provides a limited set of constructors to reduce instantiations.
    // Also, the constructors are open-ended and they do not check for the
    // validity of their arguments, again to reduce compile-time costs.
    // Users of `ebo` should make sure that they only try to construct an
    // `ebo` from a compatible value.
    //
    // EBOs can be indexed using an arbitrary type. The recommended usage is
    // to define an integrap constant wrapper for the specific container using
    // EBO, and then index using that wrapper:
    //
    //      template <int> struct idx; // wrapper for tuple
    //      template <typename ...T>
    //      struct tuple : ebo<idx<0>, T0>, ebo<idx<1>, T1>, ... { };
    //
    // The reason for defining one wrapper per container is to avoid any issues
    // that can arise when using `ebo_get`, which casts to the base class. If
    // `tuple` and `pair` are inheritting from `ebo`s with the same indexing
    // scheme, trying to use `ebo_get` on a tuple of pairs will trigger an
    // ambiguous base class conversion, since both tuple and pair inherit
    // from `ebo`s with the same keys.
