/// Deserialize account data lazily (on-demand).
///
/// Anchor uses [`borsh`] deserialization by default, which can be expensive for both memory and
/// compute units usage.
///
/// With the regular [`Account`] type, all account data gets deserialized, even the fields not used
/// by your instruction. On contrast, [`LazyAccount`] allows you to deserialize individual fields,
/// saving both memory and compute units.

///
/// # When to use
///
/// This is currently an experimental account type, and therefore should only be used when you're
/// running into performance issues.
///
/// It's best to use [`LazyAccount`] when you only need to deserialize some of the fields,
/// especially if the account is read-only.
///
/// Replacing [`Account`] (including `Box`ed) with [`LazyAccount`] *can* improve both stack memory
/// and compute unit usage. However, this is not guaranteed. For example, if you need to
/// deserialize the account fully, using [`LazyAccount`] will have additional overhead and
/// therefore use slightly more compute units.
///
/// Currently, using the `mut` constraint eventually results in the whole account getting
/// deserialized, meaning it won't use fewer compute units compared to [`Account`]. This might get
/// optimized in the future.
///
/// # Features
///
/// - Can be used as a replacement for [`Account`].
/// - Checks the account owner and its discriminator.
/// - Does **not** check the type layout matches the defined layout.
/// - All account data can be deserialized with `load` and `load_mut` methods. These methods are
///   non-inlined, meaning that they're less likely to cause stack violation errors.
/// - Each individual field can be deserialized with the generated `load_<field>` and
///   `load_mut_<field>` methods.
///

///     #[max_len(MAX_DATA_LEN)]

/// }
/// ```
///
/// # Safety
///
/// The safety checks are done using the account's discriminator and the account's owner (similar
/// to [`Account`]). However, you should be extra careful when deserializing individual fields if,
/// for example, the account needs to be migrated. Make sure the previously serialized data always
/// matches the account's type identically.
///
/// # Performance
///
/// ## Memory
///
/// All fields (including the inner account type) are heap allocated. It only uses 24 bytes (3x
/// pointer size) of stack memory in total.
///
/// It's worth noting that where the account is being deserialized matters. For example, the main
/// place where Anchor programs are likely to hit stack violation errors is a generated function
/// called `try_accounts` (you might be familiar with it from the mangled build logs). This is
/// where the instruction is deserialized and constraints are run. Although having everything at the
/// same place is convenient for using constraints, this also makes it very easy to use the fixed
/// amount of stack space (4096 bytes) SVM allocates just by increasing the number of accounts the
/// instruction has. In SVM, each function has its own stack frame, meaning that it's possible to
/// deserialize more accounts simply by deserializing them inside other functions (rather than in
/// `try_accounts` which is already quite heavy).
///
/// The mentioned stack limitation can be solved using dynamic stack frames, see [SIMD-0166].
///
/// ## Compute units
///
/// Compute is harder to formulate, as it varies based on the inner account's type. That being said,
/// there are a few things you can do to optimize compute units usage when using [`LazyAccount`]:
///
/// - Order account fields from fixed-size data (e.g. `u8`, `Pubkey`) to dynamic data (e.g. `Vec`).
/// - Order account fields based on how frequently the field is accessed (starting with the most
///   frequent).
/// - Reduce or limit dynamic fields.
///

/// [`Account`]: crate::prelude::Account
