Crate lateinit

Provides an unsafe way to late-initialize static variables that will see a lot of use. Meant as a replacement for static mut that only allows setting once.

Usage:

static SOMETHING: LateInit<String> = LateInit::new();

unsafe { SOMETHING.init("hello world".to_owned()); }
println!("{}", SOMETHING);

Multiple-initialization causes a panic:

static SOMETHING: LateInit<String> = LateInit::new();

unsafe {
    SOMETHING.init("something".to_owned());
    SOMETHING.init("something else".to_owned());
}
