///
/// # Downcast Example
/// Skim will return the item back, but in `Arc<dyn SkimItem>` form. We might want a reference
/// to the concrete type instead of trait object. Skim provide a somehow "complicated" way to
/// `downcast` it back to the reference of the original concrete type.
///
/// ```rust
/// use skim::prelude::*;
///
/// struct MyItem {}
/// impl SkimItem for MyItem {
///     fn text(&self) -> Cow<str> {
///         unimplemented!()
///     }
/// }

/// impl MyItem {
///     pub fn mutable(&mut self) -> i32 {
///         1
///     }
///
///     pub fn immutable(&self) -> i32 {
///         0
///     }
/// }
///
/// let mut ret: Arc<dyn SkimItem> = Arc::new(MyItem{});
/// let mutable: &mut MyItem = Arc::get_mut(&mut ret)
///     .expect("item is referenced by others")
