* Uniquely-owned instance with runtime polymorphism.
*
* Reminder that in the facet object model we expect
* objects to be transient.
*
*
* Unlike OUniqueBox<AInterface, ..> can use for variant data
* without additional overhead. Tradeoff is that avoiding such
* overhead excludes std::unique_ptr.
*
* We're going to instead rely on AInterface providing a destruct_data() method,
* so in practice get the deleter from interface state.
*
* Possibly means we need all abstract interfaces to share a common base
*
* Remarks:
* - when @tparam Data is supplied
