PhantomInvariant and PhantomInvariantLifetime#150Conversation
Currently, the `pin_init` library has an `Invariant` type alias, and it is instantiated using `PhantomData`. Generated code from `pin_data` on the other hand cannot access the crate-local type alias, so it generates `PhantomData<fn(T) -> T>` directly. This is all very inconsistent, despite the exact same use case of ensuring invariance. Add `PhantomInvariant` and `PhantomInvariantLifetime` and switch all users that need to express the concept of invariance to use these. They're polyfills of unstable types in the same names in the Rust standard library. Signed-off-by: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>
