Expand description

Trait for objects whose `Clone` impl is lightweight (e.g. reference-counted)

Cloning an object implementing this trait should in general:

- be O(1) (constant) time regardless of the amount of data managed by the object,
- not require a memory allocation,
- not require copying more than roughly 64 bytes (a typical cache line size),
- not block the current thread,
- not have any semantic side effects (e.g. allocating a file descriptor), and
- not have overhead larger than a couple of atomic operations.

The `UseCloned` trait does not provide a method; instead, it indicates that `Clone::clone` is lightweight, and allows the use of the `.use` syntax.

### §.use postfix syntax

Values can be `.use`d by adding `.use` postfix to the value you want to use.

ⓘ

    fn foo(f: Foo) {
        // if `Foo` implements `Copy` f would be copied into x.
        // if `Foo` implements `UseCloned` f would be cloned into x.
        // otherwise f would be moved into x.
        let x = f.use;
        // ...
    }

### §use closures

Use closures allow captured values to be automatically used. This is similar to have a closure that you would call `.use` over each captured value.

## Dyn Compatibility§

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
