/// This type is a reference with one special behaviour: the reference pointer (i.e. the address of
/// the value referred to) is used for equality and hashing, rather than the value's contents, as
/// would occur with a vanilla reference. There are two cases when this is useful.
///
/// - Types where uniqueness is guaranteed. This is most commonly achieved via interning -- hence
///   the name `Interned` -- though it may also be possible via other means. In this case, the use
///   of `Interned` is primarily a performance optimization, because pointer equality/hashing gives
///   the same results as value equality/hashing, but is faster. (The use of the `Interned` type
///   also provides documentation about the interned-ness.)
///
///   Note that in this case it is possible to have a `T` and a `Interned<T>` that are (or refer
///   to) equal but different values. But if you have two different `Interned<T>`s, they both refer
///   to the same value, at a single location in memory.
///
/// - Types with identity, where distinct values should always be considered unequal, even if they
///   have equal values. These are rare in Rust, but do occur sometimes. In this case, the use of
///   `Interned` gives different behaviour, because pointer equality/hashing gives different result
///   to value equality/hashing, and is also faster.
///
/// The `PrivateZst` field means you can pattern match with `Interned(v, _)` but you can only
/// construct a `Interned` with `new_unchecked`, and not directly. This means that all creation
/// points can be audited easily.
