///
/// The only purpose of this wrapper is to make [encasing] of arbitrary owned

/// A wrapper keeping together an immutable instance and the [`MemBackend`] it
/// was deserialized from (or, possibly, an owned instance).
///
/// [`MemCase`] instances can not be cloned, but references to such instances
/// can be shared freely. For convenience we provide delegations for [`AsRef`]
/// and [`Deref`], and an implementation of [`PartialEq`] and [`Eq`] whenever
/// the inner type supports them.
///
/// A [`MemCase`] is parameterized by a type `S` implementing [`DeserInner`],
/// but it stores an inner instance of type [`DeserType<'static, S>`]. The
/// references contained in the latter point inside the [`MemBackend`] (i.e., a
/// [`MemCase`] is in general self-referential). You must use [`uncase`] to get
/// a reference to the inner instance.
///
/// [`MemCase`] instances can also be built from owned instances using the
/// [`MemCase::encase`] method or the [convenient implementation] of [`From`]
/// for [`MemOwned<T>`].
///
/// It is thus possible to treat ε-copy deserialized instances and owned
/// instances uniformly using [`MemCase`]. The only drawback is that
/// [`MemCase`] instances have a few dozen bytes of overhead due to the
/// [`MemBackend`] instance they contain.
///
/// Note that if you plan to bound with traits the behavior of [`MemCase`]
/// instances, you should do so on the deserialization type associated with the
/// underlying type, as that will be the type of the reference returned by
/// [`uncase`].
///
/// # Why not the [`yoke`] crate?
///
/// A [`MemCase`] is structurally a [`Yoke`]. We do not wrap a [`Yoke`] for
/// three reasons:
///
/// 1. **Per-type [`Yokeable`] impls.** [`Yoke<Y, _>`][`Yoke`] requires `Y:
/// for<'a> Yokeable<'a>`, implemented on the `'static` form of a type with
/// `Output` being that type with `'static` replaced by `'a`. The bound
/// `for<'a> DeserType<'static, S>: Yokeable<'a, Output = DeserType<'a, S>>` is
/// in fact expressible, and built-in deserialization types (`&[T]`, `Vec<T>`,
/// …) are already [`Yokeable`]; but every *derived* deserialization type would
/// need a [`Yokeable`] impl emitted by our derive macro, since there is no
/// blanket impl for arbitrary structs.
/// 2. **Stronger covariance check.** [`Yokeable`] is an unsafe trait whose
/// lifetime cast is sound only by contract. We instead prove covariance with
/// the compiler-checked [`CovariantProof`] / [`DeserInner::__check_covariance`]
/// machinery.
/// 3. **No support for arbitrary owned instances.** [`encase`] wraps an
/// *arbitrary* owned `T` (see the [`From`] impl for [`MemOwned<T>`]) with no
/// trait bound on `T`. [`yoke`] cannot hold an arbitrary owned type: even
/// its owned constructors ([`Yoke::new_always_owned`], giving [`Yoke<Y,
/// ()>`][`Yoke`]) still require `Y: for<'a> Yokeable<'a>`, which a plain
/// user struct does not implement. Wrapping [`Yoke`] would therefore
/// restrict [`encase`] to [`Yokeable`] types, whereas [`MemBackend::None`]
/// supports any `T` directly.

/// If you are assigning to a field of type [`MemOwned<T>`] (a type alias for

/// type `T`.
///

///
/// ```
/// # use epserde::deser::MemOwned;

// SAFETY: a MemCase is the deserialized value plus its MemBackend. These impls
// assert that every backend variant is Send/Sync: None trivially, Memory
// because it is an aliasable box of plain bytes, and Mmap because
// mmap_rs::Mmap implements Send and Sync (in mmap-rs 0.7 all platform mapping
// types implement them explicitly). The deserialized value is covered by the
// where clauses, which require the deserialization type of S to be Send/Sync.
