3/// Trait for macros to convert owned/borrowed types to `Cow`.
4///
5/// This is needed because `&str` and `String` do not have `From`
6/// implements into `Cow<_, [u8]>`. One solution is to just call `AsRef<[u8]>`
7/// before converting. However, then when a user specifies an owned type,
8/// we will implicitly borrow that; this trait prevents that so that macro
9/// behavior is intuitive, so that owned types stay owned.
