+/**
+ * A Tub holds an object that may be uninitialized; it allows the allocation of
+ * memory for objects to be separated from its construction and destruction.
+ * When you initially create a Tub its object is uninitialized (and should not
+ * be used). You can call #construct and #destroy to invoke the constructor and
+ * destructor of the embedded object, and #get or #operator-> will return the
+ * embedded object. The embedded object is automatically destroyed when the Tub
+ * is destroyed (if it was ever constructed in the first place).
+ *
+ * Tubs are useful in situations like the following:
+ * - You want to create an array of objects, but the objects need complex
+ * constructors with multiple arguments.
+ * - You want to create a collection of objects, only some of which will be
+ * used, and you don't want to pay the cost of constructing objects that will
+ * never be used.
+ * - You want automatic destruction of an object but don't want to
+ * heap-allocate the object (as with std::unique_ptr).
+ * - You want a way to return failure from a method without using pointers,
+ * exceptions, or special values (e.g. -1). The Tub gives you a 'maybe'
+ * object; it may be empty if a failure occurred.
+ * - You want a singleton, but don't want to deal with heap-allocating an
+ * object on first use and freeing it later. Instead, just declare your object
+ * in a tub and do:
+ * if (!tub) tub.construct();
+ * - You want optional arguments to a function, but don't want to use pointers
+ * (i.e. use the Tub's boolean to determine that an argument was passed,
+ * rather than checking arg != NULL).
+ *
+ * Tub is CopyConstructible if and only if ElementType is CopyConstructible,
+ * and Tub is Assignable if and only if ElementType is Assignable.
+ *
+ * \tparam ElementType
+ * The type of the object to be stored within the Tub.
