/// Option<T> implements Crdt for any type T, even if T doesn't implement CRDT itself: when
/// different values are detected, they are always merged to None. This can be used for value
/// types which shoulnd't be merged, instead of trying to merge things when we know we don't want
/// to merge them (which is what the AutoCrdt trait is used for most of the time). This cases
/// arises very often, for example with a Lww or a LwwMap: the value type has to be a CRDT so that
/// we have a rule for what to do when timestamps aren't enough to disambiguate (in a distributed
/// system, anything can happen!), and with AutoCrdt the rule is to make an arbitrary (but
/// determinstic) choice between the two. When using an Option<T> instead with this impl, ambiguity
/// cases are explicitely stored as None, which allows us to detect the ambiguity and handle it in
/// the way we want. (this can only work if we are happy with losing the value when an ambiguity
/// arises)
