LazyNeverDestroyed has a non-trivial constructor in debug builds, which is obviously wrong to have for the pattern we normally use it with.

static std::mutex& cachedCollatorMutex()
{
    static std::once_flag onceFlag;

    static LazyNeverDestroyed<std::mutex> mutex;
    std::call_once(onceFlag, []{
        mutex.construct();
    });

    return mutex;
}

Removing the brace initializer for the m_isConstructed member will make it trivial again.

Yes, this class is only used for static variables. I don't know of a way to assert that though.
