// StatusOr<T> is the union of a Status object and a T
// object. StatusOr models the concept of an object that is either a
// usable value, or an error Status explaining why such a value is
// not present. To this end, StatusOr<T> does not allow its Status
// value to be Status::OK. Further, StatusOr<T*> does not allow the
// contained pointer to be NULL.
//
// The primary use-case for StatusOr<T> is as the return value of a
// function which may fail.
//
// Example client usage for a StatusOr<T>, where T is not a pointer:
//
//  StatusOr<float> result = DoBigCalculationThatCouldFail();
//  if (result.ok()) {
//    float answer = result.ValueOrDie();
//    printf("Big calculation yielded: %f", answer);
//  } else {
//    LOG(ERROR) << result.status();
//  }
//
// Example client usage for a StatusOr<T*>:
//
//  StatusOr<Foo*> result = FooFactory::MakeNewFoo(arg);
//  if (result.ok()) {
//    std::unique_ptr<Foo> foo(result.ValueOrDie());
//    foo->DoSomethingCool();
//  } else {
//    LOG(ERROR) << result.status();
//  }
//
// Example client usage for a StatusOr<std::unique_ptr<T>>:
//
//  StatusOr<std::unique_ptr<Foo>> result = FooFactory::MakeNewFoo(arg);
//  if (result.ok()) {
//    std::unique_ptr<Foo> foo = result.ConsumeValueOrDie();
//    foo->DoSomethingCool();
//  } else {
//    LOG(ERROR) << result.status();
//  }
//
// Example factory implementation returning StatusOr<T*>:
//
//  StatusOr<Foo*> FooFactory::MakeNewFoo(int arg) {
//    if (arg <= 0) {
//      return ::util::Status(::util::error::INVALID_ARGUMENT,
//                            "Arg must be positive");
//    } else {
//      return new Foo(arg);
//    }
//  }
