/// A mutable reference which may not be moved or assigned.
///
/// A `Seal` restricts a mutable reference so that the referenced value cannot
/// be moved or assigned unless it is `Unpin` and `NoUndef`. These properties
/// allow the safe use of mutable archived values.
///
/// Unlike `Pin`, all fields of `Seal`ed values are also sealed. There is no
/// notion of "structural sealing" as there is structural pinning. This has the
/// upside that a `Seal` can be uniformly destructured with `munge`, which is
/// the recommended replacement for `Pin`'s `map_unchecked_mut` function. Also
/// unlike `Pin`, `Seal`ing a reference does not require upholding the invariant
/// that the sealed value is dropped before its backing memory is reused. This
/// means that creating a `Seal` from a mutable reference is completely safe to
/// do.
