+// IdType32<>, IdType64<>, etc. wrap an integer id in a custom, type-safe type.
+//
+// IdType32<Foo> is an alternative to int, for a class Foo with methods like:
+//
+//    int GetId() { return id_; };
+//    static Foo* FromId(int id) { return g_all_foos_by_id[id]; }
+//
+// Such methods are a standard means of safely referring to objects across
+// thread and process boundaries.  But if a nearby class Bar also represents
+// its IDs as a bare int, horrific mixups are possible -- one example, of many,
+// is http://crrev.com/365437.  IdType<> offers compile-time protection against
+// such mishaps, since IdType32<Foo> is incompatible with IdType32<Bar>, even
+// though both just compile down to an int32_t.
+//
+// Templates in this file:
+//   IdType32<T> / IdTypeU32<T>: Signed / unsigned 32-bit IDs
+//   IdType64<T> / IdTypeU64<T>: Signed / unsigned 64-bit IDs
+//   IdType<>: For when you need a different underlying type or
+//             a default/invalid value other than zero.
+//
+// IdType32<Foo> behaves just like an int32_t in the following aspects:
+// - it can be used as a key in std::map and/or base::hash_map;
+// - it can be used as an argument to DCHECK_EQ or streamed to LOG(ERROR);
+// - it has the same memory footprint and runtime overhead as int32_t;
+// - it can be copied by memcpy.
+//
+// IdType32<Foo> has the following differences from a bare int32_t:
+// - it forces coercions to go through GetUnsafeValue and FromUnsafeValue;
+// - it restricts the set of available operations (i.e. no multiplication);
+// - it ensures initialization to zero and allows checking against
+//   default-initialized values via is_null method.
