//! "Object safety" refers to the ability for a trait to be converted
//! to an object. In general, traits may only be converted to an
//! object if all of their methods meet certain criteria. In particular,
//! they must:
//!
//!   - have a suitable receiver from which we can extract a vtable;
//!   - not reference the erased type `Self` except for in this receiver;
//!   - not have generic type parameters
