///
/// # Safety
///
/// This is unsafe because there are a bunch of soundness invariants that need
/// to be upheld. The following list is non-exhaustive:
///
/// - `Kind` must not have a `Drop` impl in any "path" that may trace back to
/// the original self-referential type, if said `Drop` impl can observe
/// the self-referential type.
/// - We assume `Kind` has the same layout for any `'a`. This is true as of the
/// time of writing this, and relies on Rust not having lifetime
/// specialization.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```rust
/// #![feature(generic_associated_types)]
///
/// use core::cell::Cell;
///
/// use selfref::SelfRef;
/// use selfref::Opaque;
///
/// struct Foo<'a> {
/// foo: Cell >>,
/// }
/// impl<'a> SelfRef<'a> for Foo<'a> {}
///
/// struct FooKey;
/// // SAFETY: Foo has no Drop impl and has the same layout for any 'a.
/// unsafe impl Opaque for FooKey {
/// type Kind<'a> = Foo<'a>;
/// }

///
/// Safe wrapper around [`Opaque`] that checks the soundness requirements at
/// compile-time.
///
/// There are 2 forms of this macro. The second form accepts type parameters.
///
/// Note that where bounds go after the impl block.
///
