 //! Rust memory safety is based on this rule: Given an object `T`, it is only possible to

-//! - Having several immutable references (`&T`) to the object (also know as Aliasing).
-//! - Having one mutable reference (`&mut T`) to the object (also know as Mutability).

-//! Shareable mutable containers exist to permit mutability in the presence of aliasing in a
