Documentation
//! Mixed references to owned and borrowed memory.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! This crate is available [on crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/mixed_ref)
//! and can be used by adding the following to your project's `Cargo.toml`:
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! mixed_ref = "0.1.1"
//! ```
//!
//! and this to your crate root:
//!
//! ```
//! #[macro_use]
//! extern crate mixed_ref;
//! # fn main() {}
//! ```
