/// A cell which can nominally be written to only once.
///
/// This allows obtaining a shared `&T` reference to its inner value without copying or replacing
/// it (unlike [`Cell`]), and without runtime borrow checks (unlike [`RefCell`]). However,
/// only immutable references can be obtained unless one has a mutable reference to the cell
/// itself. In the same vein, the cell can only be re-initialized with such a mutable reference.
///
/// A `OnceCell` can be thought of as a safe abstraction over uninitialized data that becomes
/// initialized once written.
///
/// For a thread-safe version of this struct, see [`std::sync::OnceLock`].

/// let cell = OnceCell::new();
