// This class exists  only to do SFINAE on abstract types `T` that are really
// `ModuleHolder<ModuleType>`, because there's no good way to say that `T` is a
// `ModuleHolder` over some unknown type `ModuleType`. With this, you can do
// `enable_if_t<is_base_of_v<ModuleHolderIndicator, T>>`.

// A collection of templates that answer the question whether a type `T` is a
// `ModuleHolder`, and if so whether its contained type is of type `C`. This is
// tricky because it is hard to short circuit in template metaprogramming. A
// naive and incorrect solution to this problem would be something like
// `disable_if<is_module_holder<T>::value && typename T::ContainedType == C>`.
// This would disable all types that are not `ModuleHolder`s, because even
// though the `is_module_holder<T>::value` may be `false` for such types the
// `T::ContainedType` access would be ill-formed and thus fail the whole
// expression by the rules of SFINAE. Instead we have to use template
// specialization to statically branch on the first condition
// (`is_module_holder<T>`) and are only then allowed to query
// `T::ContainedType` in the branch for which the condition was true.
