/// \par OnError Policy
/// - OnError is a policy class indicating how to handle the situation when a
/// caller does not check or copy the returned value. Loki provides some
/// policy classs and you may also write your own. For example, you can write
/// a policy to throw an exception or create a message box when the function
/// ignores the return value. If your write your own, you only need to provide
/// a function named "run".
/// a policy to create a message box when the function ignores the return value.
/// That would quickly tell you places where code ignores the function call.
/// If your write your own, you only need a templated class or struct with a
/// public function named "run" that accepts a reference to a const value.
///
/// @par Provided Policy Classes
/// - IgnoreReturnValue Deliberately ignores when the caller ignores the return value.
/// - TriggerAssert Asserts in debug builds if the caller ignores the return value.
/// - FprintfStderr Prints out an error message if the caller ignores the return value.
/// - ThrowTheValue Throws the ignored value as an exception.
/// - ThrowLogicError Throws a logic_error exception to indicate a programming error.
