/// A trait for borrowing data.
///
/// In general, there may be several ways to "borrow" a piece of data.  The
/// typical ways of borrowing a type `T` are `&T` (a shared borrow) and `&mut T`
/// (a mutable borrow). But types like `Vec<T>` provide additional kinds of
/// borrows: the borrowed slices `&[T]` and `&mut [T]`.
///
/// When writing generic code, it is often desirable to abstract over all ways
/// of borrowing data from a given type. That is the role of the `Borrow`
/// trait: if `T: Borrow<U>`, then `&U` can be borrowed from `&T`.  A given
/// type can be borrowed as multiple different types. In particular, `Vec<T>:
/// Borrow<Vec<T>>` and `Vec<T>: Borrow<[T]>`.

/// from any borrow of a given type.

/// A clone-on-write smart pointer.
///
/// The type `Cow` is a smart pointer providing clone-on-write functionality: it
/// can enclose and provide immutable access to borrowed data, and clone the
/// data lazily when mutation or ownership is required. The type is designed to
/// work with general borrowed data via the `Borrow` trait.
///
/// `Cow` implements both `Deref`, which means that you can call
/// non-mutating methods directly on the data it encloses. If mutation
/// is desired, `to_mut` will obtain a mutable references to an owned
/// value, cloning if necessary.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```rust
/// use std::borrow::Cow;
///
/// fn abs_all(input: &mut Cow<[int]>) {
///     for i in 0..input.len() {
///         let v = input[i];
///         if v < 0 {
///             // clones into a vector the first time (if not already owned)
///             input.to_mut()[i] = -v;
///         }
///     }
