/// Single typed runtime value with private storage representation.
///
/// Construction and access are expressed through methods and conversions. The
/// concrete enum representation is private so storage optimizations do not
/// become part of the public API.
///
/// # Equality and hashing
///
/// Equality includes the runtime variant, so values such as `Int32(1)` and
/// `Int64(1)` are distinct. An unset value's declared type also participates in
/// its identity. Within each floating-point width, all NaN payloads compare
/// equal and positive and negative zero compare equal. String maps and JSON
/// objects compare and hash independently of entry order; JSON arrays preserve
/// element order. BigDecimal values use numeric equality, and their hashes use
/// the same normalized numeric identity. Use [`Value::numeric_cmp`] to compare
/// numeric values across runtime types; `Eq` does not provide cross-type
/// numeric comparison. Hash output is intended for in-process collections and
/// is not a persistent fingerprint.
///
/// # JSON nesting and lifecycle
///
/// With the `json` feature, JSON equality and hashing use iterative traversal.
/// This does not provide the same guarantee for the entire value lifecycle:
/// cloning, ordinary `Debug` formatting, and dropping JSON payloads still
/// follow recursive paths in the underlying `serde_json::Value`.
/// Very deeply nested trees may exhaust the thread stack during those
/// operations.
///
/// Keep untrusted JSON nesting bounded, and consider these lifecycle operations
/// before raising decoder depth limits. Directly constructed in-memory JSON
/// does not pass through those decoder limits. Borrowed reads avoid unnecessary
/// clones but do not remove recursive destruction of the source value.
/// There is no universal safe depth across platforms and thread configurations.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use qubit_value::Value;
///
/// let value = Value::from(42_i32);
/// assert_eq!(value.get_int32().unwrap(), 42);
/// ```
///
/// Equality follows the runtime variant while normalizing NaN and signed zero
/// within a floating-point width:
///
/// ```
/// use qubit_value::Value;
///
/// assert_ne!(Value::Int32(1), Value::Int64(1));
/// assert_eq!(Value::Float64(f64::NAN), Value::Float64(f64::NAN));
/// assert_eq!(Value::Float64(0.0), Value::Float64(-0.0));
