/// This type is intended to be similar to the type `MaybeDangling<T>`
/// proposed in [RFC 3336].
///
/// The effect of this is that in Rust's safety model, types inside here are not
/// expected to have any memory dependent validity properties (`dereferenceable`, `noalias`).
///
/// See [#3696] for a testcase where `Yoke` fails this under miri's field-retagging mode.
///
/// This has `T: 'static` since we don't need anything
/// else and we don't want to have to think (more) about variance over lifetimes or dropck.
///
/// After [RFC 3336] lands we can use `MaybeDangling` instead.
///
/// Note that a version of this type also exists publicly as the [`maybe_dangling`]
/// crate; which also exports a patched `ManuallyDrop` with similar semantics and
/// does not require `T: 'static`. Consider using this if you need something more general
/// and are okay with adding dependencies.
///
/// [RFC 3336]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3336
