The ForLt trait currently guarantees covariance, which allows safe
lifetime shortening via cast_ref(). However, some types (e.g. those
containing Mutex<&'bound T>) are invariant over their lifetime parameter
and cannot safely use cast_ref().
This series splits ForLt into two traits:
- ForLt: base trait for all lifetime-parameterized types, providing
only the Of<'a> GAT.
- CovariantForLt: unsafe subtrait that guarantees covariance,
providing a safe cast_ref() method.
For invariant types, a closure-based API (registration_data_with()) is
added to the auxiliary subsystem. The closure's HRTB prevents the caller
from choosing a concrete lifetime, which would be unsound for invariant
types.
On top of that, this series adds DevresLt<F: ForLt>, a thin wrapper
around Devres<F::Of<'static>> that shortens the stored 'static lifetime
back to the caller's borrow scope. DevresLt provides both closure-based
access (access_with/try_access_with for ForLt types) and direct
reference access (access/try_access for CovariantForLt types).
Also implement ForLt and CovariantForLt for Bar, IoMem and
ExclusiveIoMem, and update their into_devres() methods to return
DevresLt. Provide convenience type aliases DevresBar, DevresIoMem and
DevresExclusiveIoMem.
This is a stable tag for other trees to merge.
