    //  3. The `U.value` destructor is invoked since U's destructor does it
    //     explicitly. This makes `U` a kind of RAII wrapper around non default
    //     constructible value of T, which is destructed when we leave the
    //     scope. We do need to destroy U.value, which is constructed by
    //     CommandLineFlag::Read even though we left it in a moved-from state
