Oh, and it's important to remember [intro.object]/3: When you create
an object in a byte array (though it requires `unsigned char` or
`std::byte`, so the P0593 example used the wrong type), that byte
array still exists. This means that it "provides storage" for the
object, so the object is "nested within" the byte array. And per
[intro.object]/1.5, the lifetime of the outer object only ends when
creating an overlapping object if the overlapping object is not
"nested within" the outer object.
