/// Some types make it possible to go from borrowed to owned, usually by
/// implementing the `Clone` trait. But `Clone` works only for going from `&T`
/// to `T`. The `ToOwned` trait generalizes `Clone` to construct owned data
/// from any borrow of a given type.

    /// let ss = s.to_owned(); // String

/// A clone-on-write smart pointer.
///
/// The type `Cow` is a smart pointer providing clone-on-write functionality: it
/// can enclose and provide immutable access to borrowed data, and clone the
/// data lazily when mutation or ownership is required. The type is designed to
/// work with general borrowed data via the `Borrow` trait.
///
/// `Cow` implements `Deref`, which means that you can call
/// non-mutating methods directly on the data it encloses. If mutation
/// is desired, `to_mut` will obtain a mutable reference to an owned
/// value, cloning if necessary.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use std::borrow::Cow;
///
/// # #[allow(dead_code)]
/// fn abs_all(input: &mut Cow<[i32]>) {
///     for i in 0..input.len() {
///         let v = input[i];
///         if v < 0 {
///             // clones into a vector the first time (if not already owned)
///             input.to_mut()[i] = -v;
///         }
