//! Operating on borrowed data owned by a message is a central concept in
//! Protobuf (and Rust in general). The way this is normally accomplished in
//! Rust is to pass around references and operate on those. Unfortunately,
//! references come with two major drawbacks:
//!
//! * We must store the value somewhere in the memory to create a reference to
//!   it. The value must be readable by a single load. However for Protobuf
//!   fields it happens that the actual memory representation of a value differs
//!   from what users expect and it is an implementation detail that can change
//!   as more optimizations are implemented. For example, rarely accessed
//!   `int64` fields can be represented in a packed format with 32 bits for the
//!   value in the common case. Or, a single logical value can be spread across
//!   multiple memory locations. For example, presence information for all the
//!   fields in a protobuf message is centralized in a bitset.
//! * We cannot store extra data on the reference that might be necessary for
//!   correctly manipulating it (and custom-metadata DSTs do not exist yet in
//!   Rust). Concretely, messages, string, bytes, and repeated fields in UPB
//!   need to carry around an arena parameter separate from the data pointer to
//!   enable mutation (for example adding an element to a repeated field) or
//!   potentially to enable optimizations (for example referencing a string
//!   value using a Cord-like type instead of copying it if the source and
//!   target messages are on the same arena already). Mutable references to
//!   messages have one additional drawback: Rust allows users to
//!   indiscriminately run a bytewise swap() on mutable references, which could
//!   result in pointers to the wrong arena winding up on a message. For
//!   example, imagine swapping a submessage across two root messages allocated
//!   on distinct arenas A and B; after the swap, the message allocated in A may
//!   contain pointers from B by way of the submessage, because the swap does
//!   not know to fix up those pointers as needed. The C++ API uses
//!   message-owned arenas, and this ends up resembling self-referential types,
//!   which need `Pin` in order to be sound. However, `Pin` has much stronger
//!   guarantees than we need to uphold.
//!
//! These drawbacks put the "idiomatic Rust" goal in conflict with the
//! "performance", "evolvability", and "safety" goals. Given the project design
//! priorities we decided to not use plain Rust references. Instead, we
//! implemented the concept of "proxy" types. Proxy types are a reference-like
//! indirection between the user and the internal memory representation.
