struct Newtype(u32); // Automatically dereferences to `u32`

let nt = Newtype(13);
assert_eq!(*nt, 13);

#[derive(Deref, DerefMut)]
struct<'a, T> ComplexStruct {
    msg: &'a str,
    #[deref] // Dereferences to `data`
    data: Vec<T>,
}

let value = ComplexStruct { msg: "Hello, World!", data: vec![1, 2, 3] };
assert_eq!(*value, vec![1, 2, 3]);
