///
/// A `Val<'x, T>` value contains an instance of `T` as well as a marker
/// `'x` that reflects the value of that instance at the type level.  This
/// provides a type-safe mechanism to constrain values even if their actual
/// values are not known at compile time.

/// [`.into_inner()`](trait.IntoInner.html#tymethod.into_inner).
///
/// ## Properties
///
/// The notion of "value" is determined by the equivalence relation formed by
/// `Eq`, or the partial equivalence relation formed by `PartialEq`.
///
/// We expect the value of `T` must be immutable through `&T`.  Otherwise, the
/// properties in this section would not hold.  Therefore, `Val` is not very
/// useful for types with interior mutability like `Cell` or `RefCell`.
/// Moreover, keep in mind that any unsafe code can violate these properties
/// as well.
///
///   - If `T` forms an equivalence relation, then for every marker `'x`, the
///     type `Val<'x, T>` contains precisely one value, and each value
///     corresponds to a unique `'x`.  Hence, `Val<'x, T>` may be considered a
///     *singleton type* (unrelated to "singletons" in OOP).
///
///   - On the other hand, if `T` forms a partial equivalence relation, then
///     for every marker `'x`, the type `Val<'x, T>` contains either a single
///     identifiable value (for which equality is reflexive), or a single
///     unidentifiable value (one for which equality is nonreflexive), and
///     each identifiable value corresponds to a unique marker `'x`.

///
/// It is sometimes useful to bypass Rust's type system to create a `TyEq<T,
/// U>` object where `T` is not *judgmentally* equal to `U`.  This can be done
/// by transmutation:
///
/// ```
/// # #[allow(unused)] {
/// # use imprint::{TyEq, PhantomInvariantLifetime};
/// # struct Foo<'a>(PhantomInvariantLifetime<'a>);
/// # unsafe fn conjure<'a, 'b>() -> TyEq<Foo<'a>, Foo<'b>> {
/// std::mem::transmute::<TyEq<Foo<'a>, Foo<'a>>,
///                       TyEq<Foo<'a>, Foo<'b>>>(TyEq::refl())
/// # }

/// However, you must be absolutely certain that
///
///   - `A` and `B` are truly transmute-compatible (which usually means `A`
///     and `B` must differ only in phantom parameters), and
///   - changing from `A` to `B` or vice versa cannot alter the observable
///     behavior of any valid program.
///
/// The second condition is crucial: it is never correct equate two fully
/// concrete types (e.g. between `PhantomData<i64>` and `PhantomData<u64>`)
/// even if they are representationally identical, because one can always use
/// traits to dispatch based on the identity of the types, resulting in
/// differences in observable behavior.
///
/// Generally, it is only sensible to equate (partially) abstract types
/// (e.g. `Foobar<T>` and `Foobar<U>` where `T` and `U` are unknown), and even
/// still you have to make sure that this wouldn't cause changes in observable
/// behavior.  Most of the time, it only makes sense to equate generic phantom
