#[doc = "

A growable, modifiable vector type that accumulates elements into a
unique vector.

# Limitations on recursive use

This class works by swapping the unique vector out of the data
structure whenever it is to be used.  Therefore, recursive use is not
permitted.  That is, while iterating through a vector, you cannot
access the vector in any other way or else the program will fail.  If
you wish, you can use the `swap()` method to gain access to the raw
vector and transform it or use it any way you like.  Eventually, we
may permit read-only access during iteration or other use.

# WARNING

For maximum performance, this type is implemented using some rather
unsafe code.  In particular, this innocent looking `[mut A]/~` pointer
*may be null!*  Therefore, it is important you not reach into the
data structure manually but instead use the provided extensions.

The reason that I did not use an unsafe pointer in the structure
itself is that I wanted to ensure that the vector would be freed when
the dvec is dropped.  The reason that I did not use an `option<T>`
instead of a nullable pointer is that I found experimentally that it
becomes approximately 50% slower. This can probably be improved
through optimization.  You can run your own experiments using
`src/test/bench/vec-append.rs`. My own tests found that using null
pointers achieved about 103 million pushes/second.  Using an option
type could only produce 47 million pushes/second.
