Resource wrapper <memory_resource/resource_ref>
The ``<cuda/memory_resource>`` header provides a standard C++ interface for *heterogeneous*, *stream-ordered* memory
allocation tailored to the needs of CUDA C++ developers. This design builds off of the success of the `RAPIDS Memory Manager (RMM) <https://github.com/rapidsai/rmm>`__
project and evolves the design based on lessons learned.
``<cuda/memory_resource>`` is not intended to replace RMM, but instead moves the definition of the memory allocation
interface to a more centralized home in CCCL. RMM will remain as a collection of implementations of the ``cuda::mr``
interfaces.
We are still experimenting with the design, so for now the contents of ``<cuda/memory_resource>`` are only available if
``LIBCUDACXX_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_MEMORY_RESOURCE`` is defined.
At a high level, the header provides:

* - :ref:`cuda::get_property <libcudacxx-extended-api-memory-resources-properties>`
- Infrastructure to tag a user defined type with a given property
- CCCL 2.2.0 / CUDA 12.3
* - :ref:`cuda::mr::{async}_resource <libcudacxx-extended-api-memory-resources-resource>` and
:ref:`cuda::mr::{async}_resource_with <libcudacxx-extended-api-memory-resources-resource>`
- Concepts that provide proper constraints for arbitrary memory resources.
- CCCL 2.2.0 / CUDA 12.3
* - :ref:`cuda::mr::{async}_resource_ref <libcudacxx-extended-api-memory-resources-resource-ref>`
- A non-owning type-erased memory resource wrapper that enables consumers to specify properties of resources that they expect.
- CCCL 2.2.0 / CUDA 12.3
These features are an evolution of `std::pmr::memory_resource <https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/header/memory_resource>`__
that was introduced in C++17. While ``std::pmr::memory_resource`` provides a polymorphic memory resource that can be
adopted through inheritance, it is not properly suited for heterogeneous systems.
With the current design it ranges from cumbersome to impossible to verify whether a memory resource provides allocations
that are e.g. accessible on device, or whether it can utilize other allocation mechanisms.
To better support asynchronous CUDA `stream-ordered allocations <https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-programming-guide/index.html#stream-ordered-memory-allocator>`__
libcu++ provides :ref:`cuda::stream_ref <libcudacxx-extended-api-streams-stream-ref>` as a wrapper around
``cudaStream_t``. The definition of ``cuda::stream_ref`` can be found in the ``<cuda/stream_ref>`` header.
