Just like `Box<T>`, we want `ThinBox<T>` to be covariant in `T`, but the
projection in `WithHeader<<T as Pointee>::Metadata>` was making it
invariant. This is now hidden as `WithOpaqueHeader`, which we type-cast
whenever the real `WithHeader<H>` type is needed.
Relevant commit messages from squashed history in order:
Add initial version of ThinBox
update test to actually capture failure
swap to middle ptr impl based on matthieu-m's design
Fix stack overflow in debug impl
The previous version would take a `&ThinBox<T>` and deref it once, which
resulted in a no-op and the same type, which it would then print causing
an endless recursion. I've switched to calling `deref` by name to let
method resolution handle deref the correct number of times.
I've also updated the Drop impl for good measure since it seemed like it
could be falling prey to the same bug, and I'll be adding some tests to
verify that the drop is happening correctly.
add test to verify drop is behaving
add doc examples and remove unnecessary Pointee bounds
