// Provides a type name that is unique by instance rather than by
// string content.  This is useful in cases where there are different
// implementations of a given interface that need to be differentiated from
// each other for down-casting purposes, where it is undesirable to provide
// a registry to avoid name collisions.
//
// Expected usage:
//
//// Interface has a virtual method that returns a UniqueTypeName.
// class Interface {
// public:
// virtual ~Interface() = default;
// virtual UniqueTypeName type() const = 0;
// };

//// Implementation uses a static factory instance to return the same
//// UniqueTypeName for every instance.
// class FooImplementation : public Interface {
// public:
// UniqueTypeName type() const override {
//   static UniqueTypeName::Factory kFactory("Foo");
//   return kFactory.Create();
// }
// };
