+/// This specialization trait is a workaround for LLVM not currently (2023-01)
+/// being able to optimize this itself, even though Alive confirms that it would
+/// be legal to do so: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/52622>
+///
+/// Once that's fixed, `Option` should go back to deriving `PartialEq`, as
