I didn't realize, but that could work as well. I was rebasing this
series from before we did our own `Box`, and rust `Box` has this method,
which I was using.

At any rate, I think it would make sense to have `into_pin` as well as
the `From` impl, to match the standard library. We could always
implement one in terms of the other.
