Smart pointer owning its pointee and trait which allows conversion into owned type

deref_owned provides a smart pointer Owned, which points to an owned value. It’s similar to Cow, except that it’s always owning its pointee. Moreover, a trait IntoOwned is provided, which allows conversion of pointers to an owned value though an .into_owned() method. The trait IntoOwned is currently implemented for:

  • &'a T where T: ?Sized + ToOwned
  • Cow<'a, T> where T: ?Sized + ToOwned
  • Owned<T>
  • Box<T> where T: ?Sized
  • Vec<T>
  • String
