It is useful to be able to upgrade a
Cowpointer into its mutable variant without consuming it, which is whatCow::to_mutdoes. This PR adds a new methodCow::make_mutwhich makes the Cow pointer mutable, and returns it. The returned reference has a shorter lifetime than the one returned byto_mutbecause it borrows from&mut selfrather thanself.The
to_mutmethod has been renamedinto_mutas we needed to change its type signature anyway to introduce aResulttype. The newmake_mutalso returns aResult.
