// Multiple protobuf Kinds may be represented by a single Go type if the type
// can losslessly represent the information for the proto kind. For example,
// [Int64Kind], [Sint64Kind], and [Sfixed64Kind] are all represented by int64,
// but use different integer encoding methods.
//
// The [List] or [Map] types are used if the field cardinality is repeated.
// A field is a [List] if [FieldDescriptor.IsList] reports true.
// A field is a [Map] if [FieldDescriptor.IsMap] reports true.
//
// Converting to/from a Value and a concrete Go value panics on type mismatch.
// For example, [ValueOf]("hello").Int() panics because this attempts to
// retrieve an int64 from a string.
//
// [List], [Map], and [Message] Values are called "composite" values.
//
// A composite Value may alias (reference) memory at some location,
// such that changes to the Value updates the that location.
// A composite value acquired with a Mutable method, such as [Message.Mutable],
// always references the source object.
//
// For example:
//
//	// Append a 0 to a "repeated int32" field.
//	// Since the Value returned by Mutable is guaranteed to alias
//	// the source message, modifying the Value modifies the message.
//	message.Mutable(fieldDesc).List().Append(protoreflect.ValueOfInt32(0))
//
//	// Assign [0] to a "repeated int32" field by creating a new Value,
//	// modifying it, and assigning it.
//	list := message.NewField(fieldDesc).List()
//	list.Append(protoreflect.ValueOfInt32(0))
//	message.Set(fieldDesc, list)
//	// ERROR: Since it is not defined whether Set aliases the source,
//	// appending to the List here may or may not modify the message.
//	list.Append(protoreflect.ValueOfInt32(0))
//
// Some operations, such as [Message.Get], may return an "empty, read-only"
// composite Value. Modifying an empty, read-only value panics.
type Value value

// The protoreflect API uses a custom Value union type instead of any
// to keep the future open for performance optimizations. Using an any
// always incurs an allocation for primitives (e.g., int64) since it needs to
// be boxed on the heap (as interfaces can only contain pointers natively).
// Instead, we represent the Value union as a flat struct that internally keeps
// track of which type is set. Using unsafe, the Value union can be reduced
// down to 24B, which is identical in size to a slice.
//
// The latest compiler (Go1.11) currently suffers from some limitations:
//	• With inlining, the compiler should be able to statically prove that
//	only one of these switch cases are taken and inline one specific case.
//	See https://golang.org/issue/22310.
