//!
//! Shareable mutable containers exist to permit mutability in presence of aliasing in a
//! controlled manner. Both `Cell<T>` and `RefCell<T>` allows to do this in a single threaded
//! way. For multiple threads is possible to use `Mutex`, `RwLock` or `AtomicXXX`.
//! way, you can mutate them using an inmutable reference. However, neither `Cell<T>` nor
//! `RefCell<T>` are thread safe (they do not implement `Sync`), if you need to do Aliasing and
//! Mutation between multiple threads is possible to use `Mutex`, `RwLock` or `AtomicXXX`.
//!
//! Values of the `Cell<T>` and `RefCell<T>` types may be mutated through shared references (i.e.
//! the common `&T` type), whereas most Rust types can only be mutated through unique (`&mut T`)
