[PATCH 19/20] rust: pin-init: internal: pin_data: support shared projection
From: Gary Guo
Date: Thu Oct 08 2026 - 08:30:38 EST
For fields that self-references, it is desirable that projection can
happen on shared references too, so lifetime between different fields can
be correlated. Add support for that with `with_project_ref`.
