// Note 1: It is not clear whether the flexibility of providing both
// the `Growable` and `FixedLen` variants is sufficiently useful.
// Consider restricting to just a two variant enum.

// Note 2: Once Dynamically Sized Types (DST) lands, it might be
// reasonable to replace this with something like `enum MaybeOwned<'a,
// U: ?Sized>{ Owned(Box<U>), Borrowed(&'a U) }`; and then `U` could be
// instantiated with `[T]` or `str`, etc.  Of course, that would imply
// removing the `Growable` variant, which relates to note 1 above.
// Alternatively, we might add `MaybeOwned` for the general case but
// keep some form of `MaybeOwnedVector` to avoid unnecessary copying
// of the contents of `Vec<T>`, since we anticipate that to be a
// frequent way to dynamically construct a vector.

/// MaybeOwnedVector<'a,T> abstracts over `Vec<T>`, `&'a [T]`.

/// Some clients will have a pre-allocated vector ready to hand off in
/// a slice; others will want to create the set on the fly and hand
/// off ownership, via `Growable`.
