// Conditional trivial destructible.
//
// Since destructors can't have template parameters, std::enable_if can't be
// used to selectively enable or disable the destructor via SFINAE.
//
// If a template class wants to be trivially destructible depending on the
// template parameter, one has to work around it with some template
// specialization (pre cpp20). The implementation in the namespace v1 gives an
// example for that.
//
// Starting with cpp20 we can leverage concepts to enable / disable different
// destructor implementations. The implementations in the namespace v2 gives an
// example for that.
