// and removal without using a hash table. This set is intrusive in the sense
// that elements need to know their position inside of the set by storing an
// `IntrusiveSetIndex` somewhere. In particular, all copies of a `T` value
// should point to the same `IntrusiveSetIndex` instance. `GetIntrusiveSetIndex`
// has to be a functor that produces `IntrusiveSetIndex&` given a `T`. The
// reference has to remain valid and refer to the same memory location while the
// element is in the set and until we finish iterating over the data structure
// if the element is removed during iteration.
