+// move_only_function design:
+//
+// move_only_function has a small buffer with a size of `3 * sizeof(void*)` bytes. This buffer can only be used when the
+// object that should be stored is trivially relocatable (currently only when it is trivially move constructible and
+// trivially destructible). There is also a bool in the lower bits of the vptr stored which is set when the contained
+// object is not trivially destructible.
+//
+// trivially relocatable: It would also be possible to store nothrow_move_constructible types, but that would mean
+// that move_only_function itself would not be trivially relocatable anymore. The decision to keep move_only_function
+// trivially relocatable was made because we expect move_only_function to be mostly used to store a functor. To only
+// forward functors there is C++26's std::function_ref.
+//
+// buffer size: We did a survey of six implementations from various vendors. Three of them had a buffer size of 24 bytes
+// on 64 bit systems. This also allows storing a std::string or std::vector inside the small buffer (once the compiler
+// has full support of trivially_relocatable annotations).
