  // Own<T>.

  //
  // This is much like std::unique_ptr, except:
  // - You cannot release().  An owned object is not necessarily allocated with new (see next
  //   point), so it would be hard to use release() correctly.
  // - The deleter is made polymorphic by virtual call rather than by template.  This is much
  //   more powerful -- it allows the use of custom allocators, freelists, etc.  This could
  //   _almost_ be accomplished with unique_ptr by forcing everyone to use something like
  //   std::unique_ptr<T, kj::Deleter>, except that things get hairy in the presence of multiple
  //   inheritance and upcasting, and anyway if you force everyone to use a custom deleter
  //   then you've lost any benefit to interoperating with the "standard" unique_ptr.
