/// The `Yokeable<'a>` trait is implemented on the `'static` version of any zero-copy type; for
10
/// example, `Cow<'static, T>` implements `Yokeable<'a>` (for all `'a`).
11
///
12
/// One can use
13
/// `Yokeable::Output` on this trait to obtain the "lifetime'd" value of the `Cow<'static, T>`,
14
/// e.g. `<Cow<'static, T> as Yokeable<'a>'>::Output` is `Cow<'a, T>`.
15
///
16
/// A [`Yokeable`] type is essentially one with a covariant lifetime parameter,
17
/// matched to the parameter in the trait definition. The trait allows one to cast
18
/// the covariant lifetime to and from `'static`.
19
///
20
/// **Most of the time, if you need to implement [`Yokeable`], you should be able to use the safe
21
/// [`#[derive(Yokeable)]`](yoke_derive::Yokeable) custom derive.**
22
///
23
/// While Rust does not yet have GAT syntax, for the purpose of this documentation
24
/// we shall refer to "`Self` with a lifetime `'a`" with the syntax `Self<'a>`.
25
/// Self<'static> is a stand-in for the HKT Self<'_>: lifetime -> type.
26
///
27
/// With this terminology, [`Yokeable`]  exposes ways to cast between `Self<'static>` and `Self<'a>` generically.
28
/// This is useful for turning covariant lifetimes to _dynamic_ lifetimes, where `'static` is
29
/// used as a way to "erase" the lifetime.
30
///
31
/// # Safety
32
///
33
/// This trait is safe to implement on types with a _covariant_ lifetime parameter, i.e. one where
34
/// [`Self::transform()`]'s body can simply be `{ self }`. This will occur when the lifetime
35
/// parameter is used within references, but not in the arguments of function pointers or in mutable
36
/// positions (either in `&mut` or via interior mutability)
37
///
38
/// This trait must be implemented on the `'static` version of such a type, e.g. one should
39
/// implement `Yokeable<'a>` (for all `'a`) on `Cow<'static, T>`.
40
