storages-api

A proof-of-concept implementation of (one version of) the storages proposal.

Describing the raw storage API, we have:

Storage: a storage that can store objects
SliceStorage: a storage for growable slices
MultipleStorage: a storage that can store multiple objects
SharedMutabilityStorage and PinningStorage

Providing a safe wrapper around Storage use (up to uninit memory):

RawBox: a raw (uninit payload) version of std Box
RawVec: a raw (uninit payload) version of std Vec

Useful implementations of Storage:

InlineStorage: single storage located in the storage's bytes
AllocStorage: full-featured storage via allocation
SmallStorage: inline storage with a fallback to allocation
