// We may want a templated method or function to defer instantiation.
// because its implementation calls methods or accesses data members that may not exist
// for a type.  But to enable this deferred instantiation, we need the method to be
// dependent on a template parameter.  For many cases we already know the type, so
// the compiler will immediately instantiate the method, possible causing build error.
// So only can use the "deferred" template to wrap the desired type along with
// an dependent_arg to avoid immediate instantiation.
// E.G.
//    template <typename DependentT=dependent_arg>
//    auto methodName (const deferred<Self, DependentT>::type &other) const
//    -> decltype(this->doWork(other))
//    {
//        doWork(other);
//    }
