    class in_place_init_t { /* see below */ } ;

    class in_place_init_if_t { /*see below*/ } ;
    const in_place_init_if_t in_place_init_if ( /*see below*/ ) ;

    }

Classes `in_place_init_t` and `in_place_init_if_t` are empty clsses. Their purpose is to control overload resolution in the initialization of optional objects.
They are empty, trivially copyable classes with disabled default constructor.
