Namespace for utility functions that operate on scalar `TARGET_TYPE` elements.

struct ScalarPrimitives;

== Description

This `struct` provides a namespace for a suite of utility functions that operate on elements of a parameterized type `TARGET_TYPE`. If any of the `...Construct` methods throws, then its target `address` is left uninitialized and there are no effects, unless otherwise mentioned in the documentation.
