+/// FIXME (pnkfelix): Ideally we would just reuse `Box<T>` instead of
+/// introducing a separate `IntermediateBox<T>`; but then you hit
+/// issues when you e.g. attempt to destructure an instance of `Box`,
+/// since it is a lang item and so it gets special handling by the
+/// compiler.  Easier just to make this parallel type for now.
+///
+/// FIXME (pnkfelix): Currently the `box` protocol only supports
+/// creating instances of sized types. This IntermediateBox is
+/// designed to be forward-compatible with a future protocol that
+/// supports creating instances of unsized types; that is why the type
+/// parameter has the `?Sized` generalization marker, and is also why
+/// this carries an explicit size. However, it probably does not need
+/// to carry the explicit alignment; that is just a work-around for
+/// the fact that the `align_of` intrinsic currently requires the
+/// input type to be Sized (which I do not think is strictly
+/// necessary).
