//! `pui-core` provides process unique identifiers. These identifiers, as the name
//! suggests are unique within the process they reside in. `pui-core` also provides
//! thread-local unique identifiers that are unique within the thread they reside in.
//!
/// These identifiers can be used to enable safe (mostly) compile-time checked
/// shared mutability.
///
/// ```rust
/// use pui::Identifier;
/// use std::cell::UnsafeCell;
///
/// struct Owner<I> {
///     ident: I,
/// }
///
/// struct Handle<H, T: ?Sized> {
///     handle: H,
///     value: UnsafeCell<T>,
/// }
///
/// impl<H, T> Handle<H, T> {
///     pub fn new(handle: H, value: T) -> Self {
///         Self { handle, value: UnsafeCell::new(value) }
///     }
/// }
///
/// impl<I> Owner<I> {
///     pub fn new(ident: I) -> Self {
///         Self { ident }

///         assert!(self.ident.owns(&handle.handle));
///         
///         // This is safe because `ident` owns the `handle`, which means that `self`
///         // is the only `Owner` that could shared access the underlying value
///         // This is because:
///         //  * the `Owner` owns the `Identifier`
///         //  * when we read/write, we bind the lifetime of `self` and `Handle`
///         //      to the lifetime of the output reference

///         assert!(self.ident.owns(&handle.handle));
///         
///         // This is safe because `ident` owns the `handle`, which means that `self`
///         // is the only `Owner` that could exclusive access the underlying value
