Wraps an owned or borrowed value.
This allows you to hold either an owned or borrowed value, allowing your data type to be either `'static` or `'temporary`.
There is a `OwnedOrRef::reborrow` method that allows the value to be borrowed with a shorter lifetime.
# Usage
Add the following to `Cargo.toml`
```toml
own = "0.1.2"
```
# Examples
```rust
use own::OwnedOrRef;
fn print(name: OwnedOrRef<'_, String>) {
println!("{}", *name);
}
fn main() {
let name = String::from("owned");
print(name.into());
let name = &String::from("borrowed");
print(name.into());
}
```
```rust
use own::OwnedOrMutRef;
fn make_uppercase(name: &mut OwnedOrMutRef<'_, String>) {
name.make_ascii_uppercase();
}
fn main() {
let name = String::from("owned");
let mut owned = name.into();
make_uppercase(&mut owned);
assert_eq!("OWNED", *owned);
let name = &mut String::from("borrowed");
let mut borrowed = name.into();
make_uppercase(&mut borrowed);
assert_eq!("BORROWED", *borrowed);
}
```
