Trait std::ops::Boxed

pub trait Boxed {
    type Data;
    type Place: BoxPlace<Self::Data>;
    unsafe fn finalize(filled: Self::Place) -> Self;
}

Core trait for the box EXPR form.

box EXPR effectively desugars into:

let mut place = BoxPlace::make_place();
let raw_place = Place::pointer(&mut place);
let value = EXPR;
unsafe {
    ::std::ptr::write(raw_place, value);
    Boxed::finalize(place)
}

The type of box EXPR is supplied from its surrounding context; in the above expansion, the result type T is used to determine which implementation of Boxed to use, and that <T as Boxed> in turn dictates determines which implementation of BoxPlace to use, namely: <<T as Boxed>::Place as BoxPlace>.
