> A collection of awful archetypes for testing generic code

## Overview

When writing a generic library, one often needs to test generic components with

types having infrequent characteristics. This is to make sure that a generic

component is not assuming more about its inputs than it should. __libawful__

is a collection of types with unusual properties that can be used to check for

corner cases when implementing generic components. The project contains a single

header, ``, which defines all the archetypes.

```c++

#include 

#include 

template 

struct naive_pair {

  T first;

  U second;

  naive_pair() = default;

  template ().first),

                            typename = decltype(std::declval().second)>

  naive_pair(Other&& other)

    : first(std::forward(other).first),

      second(std::forward(other).second)

  { }

};

int main() {

  naive_pair pair;

  auto copy = pair; // ERROR: naive_pair tries to copy-construct its first

                    //        member from a non-const reference to `pair.first`.

}

```

## Compiler requirements

This is a C++14 library, and no effort whatsoever will be made to accommodate

nonconforming compilers.
