//! This crate provides [`Yoke<Y, C>`][Yoke], which allows one to "yoke" (attach) a zero-copy deserialized
//! object (say, a [`Cow<'a, str>`](alloc::borrow::Cow)) to the source it was deserialized from, (say, an [`Rc<[u8]>`](alloc::rc::Rc)),
//! known in this crate as a "cart", producing a type that looks like `Yoke<Cow<'static, str>, Rc<[u8]>>`
//! and can be moved around with impunity.
//!
//! Succinctly, this allows one to "erase" static lifetimes and turn them into dynamic ones, similarly
//! to how `dyn` allows one to "erase" static types and turn them into dynamic ones.
//!
//! Most of the time the yokeable `Y` type will be some kind of zero-copy deserializable
//! abstraction, potentially with an owned variant (like [`Cow`](alloc::borrow::Cow),
//! [`ZeroVec`](https://docs.rs/zerovec), or an aggregate containing such types), and the cart `C` will be some smart pointer like
//! [`Box<T>`](alloc::boxed::Box), [`Rc<T>`](alloc::rc::Rc), or [`Arc<T>`](std::sync::Arc), potentially wrapped in an [`Option<T>`](Option).
//!
//! The key behind this crate is [`Yoke::get()`], where calling [`.get()`][Yoke::get] on a type like
//! `Yoke<Cow<'static, str>, _>` will get you a short-lived `&'a Cow<'a, str>`, restricted to the
//! lifetime of the borrow used during [`.get()`](Yoke::get). This is entirely safe since the `Cow` borrows from
//! the cart type `C`, which cannot be interfered with as long as the `Yoke` is borrowed by [`.get()`](Yoke::get).
//! [`.get()`](Yoke::get) protects access by essentially reifying the erased lifetime to a safe local one
//! when necessary.
//!
//! See the documentation of [`Yoke`] for more details.
