//! Emulate reborrowing for user types.
//!
//! A generalized reference is a type that has reference semantics, without actually being
//! a native Rust reference (like `&T` and `&mut T`). e.g.:
//!
//! ```
//! struct MyRefMut<'borrow> {
//!     a: &'borrow mut i32,
//!     b: &'borrow mut i32,
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Given a `&'a` \[mut\] reference of a `&'b` view over some owned object,
//! reborrowing it means getting an active `&'a` view over the owned object,
//! which renders the original reference inactive until it's dropped, at which point
//! the original reference becomes active again.
//!
//! This crate defines traits to make generalized references more ergonomic to use by giving the
//! ability to borrow and reborrow them.
//!
//! # Examples:
//! This fails to compile since we can't use a non-`Copy` value after it's moved.
//! ```compile_fail
//! fn takes_mut_option(o: Option<&mut i32>) {}
//!
//! let mut x = 0;
//! let o = Some(&mut x);
//! takes_mut_option(o); // `o` is moved here,
//! takes_mut_option(o); // so it can't be used here.
//! ```
//!
//! This can be worked around by unwrapping the option, reborrowing it, and then wrapping it again.
//! ```
//! fn takes_mut_option(o: Option<&mut i32>) {}
//!
//! let mut x = 0;
//! let mut o = Some(&mut x);
//! takes_mut_option(o.as_mut().map(|r| &mut **r)); // "Reborrowing" the `Option`
//! takes_mut_option(o.as_mut().map(|r| &mut **r)); // allows us to use it later on.
//! drop(o); // can still be used here
//! ```
//!
//! Using this crate, this can be shortened to
//! ```
//! use reborrow::ReborrowMut;
//!
//! fn takes_mut_option(o: Option<&mut i32>) {}
//!
//! let mut x = 0;
//! let mut o = Some(&mut x);
//! takes_mut_option(o.rb_mut()); // "Reborrowing" the `Option`
//! takes_mut_option(o.rb_mut()); // allows us to use it later on.
//! drop(o); // can still be used here
//! ```
//!
//! The derive macro can be used with structs or tuple structs, on the mutable variant and
//! generates the trait definitions for [`Reborrow`], [`ReborrowMut`], and [`IntoConst`].
//!
//! ```
//! use reborrow::{ReborrowCopyTraits, ReborrowTraits};
//!
//! #[derive(ReborrowCopyTraits)]
//! pub struct I32Ref<'a, 'b> {
//!     pub i: i32,
//!     pub j: &'a i32,
//!     pub k: &'b i32,
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(ReborrowCopyTraits)]
//! pub struct I32TupleRef<'a, 'b>(pub i32, pub &'a i32, pub &'b i32);
//!
//! #[derive(ReborrowTraits)]
//! #[Const(I32Ref)]
//! struct I32RefMut<'a, 'b> {
//!     i: i32,
//!     #[reborrow]
//!     j: &'a mut i32,
//!     #[reborrow]
//!     k: &'b mut i32,
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(ReborrowTraits)]
//! #[Const(I32TupleRef)]
//! pub struct I32TupleRefMut<'a, 'b>(
//!     i32,
//!     #[reborrow] &'a mut i32,
//!     #[reborrow] &'b mut i32,
//! );
