//! The AST pointer.
//!
//! Provides `P<T>`, a frozen owned smart pointer, as a replacement for `@T` in
//! the AST.
//!
//! # Motivations and benefits
//!
//! * **Identity**: sharing AST nodes is problematic for the various analysis
//!   passes (e.g., one may be able to bypass the borrow checker with a shared
//!   `ExprKind::AddrOf` node taking a mutable borrow). The only reason `@T` in the
//!   AST hasn't caused issues is because of inefficient folding passes which
//!   would always deduplicate any such shared nodes. Even if the AST were to
//!   switch to an arena, this would still hold, i.e., it couldn't use `&'a T`,
//!   but rather a wrapper like `P<'a, T>`.
//!
//! * **Immutability**: `P<T>` disallows mutating its inner `T`, unlike `Box<T>`
//!   (unless it contains an `Unsafe` interior, but that may be denied later).
//!   This mainly prevents mistakes, but can also enforces a kind of "purity".
//!
//! * **Efficiency**: folding can reuse allocation space for `P<T>` and `Vec<T>`,
//!   the latter even when the input and output types differ (as it would be the
//!   case with arenas or a GADT AST using type parameters to toggle features).
//!
//! * **Maintainability**: `P<T>` provides a fixed interface - `Deref`,
//!   `and_then` and `map` - which can remain fully functional even if the
//!   implementation changes (using a special thread-local heap, for example).
//!   Moreover, a switch to, e.g., `P<'a, T>` would be easy and mostly automated.
