Crate unbox_box

If var is a Box, this crate lets you use var.unbox_ref() instead of &*var for better readability.

Instead of

let box = Box::new("Hello, Box!".to_owned());
let ref_to_value = &*box;

this crate allows you to write

let box = Box::new("Hello, Box!".to_owned());
let ref_to_value = box.unbox_ref();

which can be easier to read and might help you avoid errors.

To use the crate, just import

use unbox_box::BoxExt as _;

and the methods will be available to any Box variable within your scope.
