The method takes two pointer arguments: one `self` supplying the pointer value, and a second pointer supplying the metadata. The new parameter type more clearly reflects the actual requirements. The provenance of the metadata parameter is disregarded completely. Using a mutable pointer in the call site can be coerced to a const pointer while the reverse is not true. An example of the current use: ```rust // Manually taking an unsized object from a `ManuallyDrop` into another allocation. let val: &core::mem::ManuallyDrop<T> = …; let ptr = val as *const _ as *mut T; let ptr = uninit.as_ptr().with_metadata_of(ptr); ``` This could then instead be simplified to: ```rust // Manually taking an unsized object from a `ManuallyDrop` into another allocation. let val: &core::mem::ManuallyDrop<T> = …; let ptr = uninit.as_ptr().with_metadata_of(&**val); ``` |
