}Expand description
A type that can be accessed by usize but without borrowing self.
This can be useful for types which include their own lifetimes, and
which wish to express that their reference has the same lifetime.
In the GAT Index, the Ref<'_> lifetime would be tied to &self.
This trait may be challenging to implement for owning containers,
for example Vec<_>, which would need their Ref type to depend
on the lifetime of the &self borrow in the get() function.

Dyn Compatibility§
This trait is not dyn compatible.
In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
