/**
* unique_ref<T> behaves like unique_ptr<T>, but guarantees that the pointer points to a valid object.
* You can create objects using make_unique_ref (works like make_unique for unique_ptr).
*
* If you happen to already have a unique_ptr<T>, you can call nullcheck(unique_ptr),
* which returns optional<unique_ref<T>>.
* Take care that this should be used very rarely, since it circumvents parts of the guarantee.
* It still protects against null pointers, but it does not guarantee anymore that the pointer points
* to a valid object. It might hold an arbitrary non-null memory location.
*
* Caution: There is one way a unique_ref<T> can actually hold a nullptr.
* It will hold a nullptr after its value was moved to another unique_ref.
* Never use the old instance after moving!
