Andreas Molzer d489ea777d Refactor set_ptr_value as with_metadata_of ... By reversing the arguments we achieve several clarifications: - The function closely resembles `cast` but with an argument to initialized the metadata. This is easier to teach and answers an long outstanding question that had restricted cast to `Sized` targets initially. See multiples reviews of <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/47631> - The 'object identity', in the form or provenance, is now preserved from the call receiver to the result. This helps explain the method as a builder-style, instead of some kind of setter that would modify something in-place. Ensuring that the result has the identity of the `self` argument is also beneficial for an intuition of effects. - An outstanding concern, 'Correct argument type', is avoided by not committing to any specific argument type. This is consistent with cast which does not require its receiver to be a raw address.		2022-03-23 19:59:37 +01:00
