23// In a safe API for user data we can’t make `get_user_data`
24// transfer full ownership of the value to the caller (e.g. by returning `Box<T>`)
25// because `self` still has a pointer to that value
26// and `get_user_data` could be called again with the same key.
27//
28// We also can’t return a `&T` reference that borrows from `self`
29// because the value could be removed with `remove_user_data` or replaced with `set_user_data`
30// while the borrow still needs to be valid.
31// (Borrowing with `&mut self` would not help as `Self` can be itself reference-counted.)
32//
33// Therefore, the value must be reference-counted.
34//
35// We use `Rc` over `Arc` because the types implementing these methods are `!Send` and `!Sync`.
