/**
 * \class FileDescriptor
 * \brief RAII-style wrapper for file descriptors
 *
 * The FileDescriptor class provides RAII-style lifetime management of file
 * descriptors with an efficient mechanism for ownership sharing. At its core,
 * an internal Descriptor object wraps a file descriptor (expressed as a signed
 * integer) with an RAII-style interface. The Descriptor is then implicitly
 * shared with all FileDescriptor instances constructed as copies.
 *
 * When constructed from a numerical file descriptor, the FileDescriptor
 * instance either duplicates or takes over the file descriptor:
 *
 * - The FileDescriptor(const int &) constructor duplicates the numerical file
 *   descriptor and wraps the duplicate in a Descriptor. The caller is
 *   responsible for closing the original file descriptor, and the value
 *   returned by fd() will be different from the value passed to the
 *   constructor.
 *
 * - The FileDescriptor(int &&) constructor takes over the numerical file
 *   descriptor and wraps it in a Descriptor. The caller shall not touch the
 *   original file descriptor once the function returns, and the value returned
 *   by fd() will be identical to the value passed to the constructor.
 *
 * The copy constructor and assignment operator create copies that share the
 * Descriptor, while the move versions of those methods additionally make the
 * other FileDescriptor invalid. When the last FileDescriptor that references a
 * Descriptor is destroyed, the file descriptor is closed.
 *
 * The numerical file descriptor is available through the fd() method. All
 * FileDescriptor instances created as copies of a FileDescriptor will report
 * the same fd() value. Callers can perform operations on the fd(), but shall
 * never close it manually.
 */

 * the \a fd, and take ownership of the copy. The original \a fd is left
 * untouched, and the caller is responsible for closing it when appropriate.
 * The duplicated file descriptor will be closed automatically when all
 * FileDescriptor instances that reference it are destroyed.
 *
 * If the \a fd is negative, the FileDescriptor is constructed as invalid and
 * the fd() method will return -1.
