+/// Models a reborrow of some unique reference, when you know that the reborrow
+/// and all its descendants (i.e., all pointers and references derived from it)
+/// will not be used any more at some point, after which you want to use the
+/// original unique reference again.
+///
+/// The borrow checker usually handles this stacking of borrows for you, but
+/// some control flows that accomplish this stacking are too complicated for
+/// the compiler to follow. A `DormantMutRef` allows you to check borrowing
+/// yourself, while still expressing its stacked nature, and encapsulating
+/// the raw pointer code needed to do this without undefined behavior.
