//! Generic intrusive smart pointers for Rust.
//!
//! [![Zulip Chat](https://img.shields.io/endpoint?label=chat&url=https%3A%2F%2Fiteration-square-automation.schichler.dev%2F.netlify%2Ffunctions%2Fstream_subscribers_shield%3Fstream%3Dproject%252Ftiptoe)](https://iteration-square.schichler.dev/#narrow/stream/project.2Ftiptoe)
//!
//! > The library name is a pun:
//! >
//! > [`TipToe`] is a digit (counter) to be used as member that instances can "balance" on.
//! >
//! > The embedded counter is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible while not in use.
//!
//! # Features
//!
//! ## `"sync"`
//!
//! Enables the [`Arc`] type, which requires [`AtomicUsize`](`core::sync::atomic::AtomicUsize`).
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ## Implementing [`IntrusivelyCountable`]
//!
//! ```rust
//! use pin_project::pin_project;
//! use tiptoe::{IntrusivelyCountable, TipToe};
//!
//! // All attributes optional.
//! #[pin_project]
//! #[derive(Debug, Default, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord, Hash)]
//! pub struct A {
//!     #[pin]
//!     ref_counter: TipToe,
//! }
//!
//! unsafe impl IntrusivelyCountable for A {
//!     type RefCounter = TipToe;
//!
//!     fn ref_counter(&self) -> &Self::RefCounter {
//!         &self.ref_counter
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! `A` is now ready for use with the intrusive pointers defined in this crate.
//!
//! The derived traits are optional, but included to show that [`TipToe`] doesn't interfere here (except for [`Copy`]).
//!
//! Using [pin-project](https://crates.io/crates/pin-project) is optional,
//! but very helpful if a struct should still be otherwise(!) mutable behind an intrusive pointer.
//!
//! Note that `A` must not be [`Unpin`] (in a way that would interfere with reference-counting).
