/// A mutable view into a value with runtime type information.
///
/// `Poke` provides reflection capabilities for mutating values at runtime.
/// It is the mutable counterpart to [`Peek`](crate::Peek).
///
/// # Wholesale Replacement vs Field Mutation
///
/// `Poke` can be created for any type. Replacing a value wholesale with [`Poke::set`]
/// is always safe - it just drops the old value and writes the new one.
///
/// However, mutating individual struct fields via [`PokeStruct::set_field`] requires
/// the struct to be marked as POD (`#[facet(pod)]`). This is because field mutation
/// could violate struct-level invariants.
///
/// # Lifetime Parameters
///
/// - `'mem`: The memory lifetime - how long the underlying data is valid
/// - `'facet`: The type's lifetime parameter (for types like `&'a str`)
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```ignore
/// // Wholesale replacement works on any type
/// let mut s = String::from("hello");
/// let mut poke = Poke::new(&mut s);
/// poke.set(String::from("world")).unwrap();
///
/// // Field mutation requires #[facet(pod)]
/// #[derive(Facet)]
/// #[facet(pod)]
/// struct Point { x: i32, y: i32 }
///
/// let mut point = Point { x: 1, y: 2 };
/// let mut poke = Poke::new(&mut point);
/// poke.into_struct().unwrap().set_field_by_name("x", 10i32).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(point.x, 10);
