Struct GhostToken

pub struct GhostToken<'brand>(/* private fields */);

WARNING: This attempt at recreating GhostCell but with traits does NOT work.

I am leaving this here because I believe there may exist a way to make this type of token work, and anyone who has ideas of how to do so is welcome to try and make a PR.

To check your theory, clone this repo and use the ghost.rs example as a check for your attempt. If your method works, the example should have some compile error.
