[PATCH v2 2/4] rust: sync: implement `Borrow` and `BorrowMut` for `Arc` types
From: Alexandre Courbot
Date: Fri Jun 13 2025 - 09:47:56 EST
Implement `Borrow<T>` and `BorrowMut<T>` for `UniqueArc<T>`, and
`Borrow<T>` for `Arc<T>`. This allows these containers to be used in
generic APIs asking for types implementing those traits. `T` and `&mut
T` also implement those traits allowing users to use either owned,
shared or borrowed values.
`ForeignOwnable` makes a call to its own `borrow` method which must be
disambiguated.
