WIP: Implements `owning_iter` method #35

Open tailhook opened 7 years ago

tailhook commented 7 years ago

This method might be used to iterate over the owned value producing new OwningRef'erences. I don't see any other way to produce multiple OwningRefs by iterating over something (except calling map for every element of a sequence, which works fine for slices but not for mappings or other more complex iterators).

Current pull request lacks docstring. But more important thing is whether it's memory safe. I'm not sure I'm doing everything 100% right.

Thoughts?

Any updates? This would be useful for creating an Iterator from Arc/Rc<[_]/Vec<_>>.
