/// A wrapper around [`Expr`] that preserves the original expression
/// without evaluating it.
///
/// For compatibility reasons, `darling` evaluates the expression inside string
/// literals, which might be undesirable. In many cases,
/// [`darling::util::parse_expr::preserve_str_literal`] can be used. However,
/// when using [`Expr`] inside a container (such as a
/// [`HashMap`](std::collections::HashMap)), it is not possible to use it.
///
/// This wrapper preserves the original expression without evaluating it.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```ignore
/// #[derive(FromMeta)]
/// #[darling(attributes(demo))]
/// struct Demo {
///     option: Option<HashMap<syn::Ident, PreservedStrExpr>>,
/// }
/// ```
