For this case we could either build a new guard type on top, or just add a
separate one to avoid returning an impl PinInit. But I'd wait until we have a
use-case for this.

As for the existing 'published' logic in this patch, I'm still confused. It
can't ever be false to begin with, so it seems it doesn't do anything?
