README

This library provides an alternative to ghost-cell which uses concrete types instead of lifetimes for branding.

This allows a more convenient usage, where cells and tokens can be constructed independently, with the same compile-time guarantees as ghost-cell. The trade-off for this arguably more convenient usage and arguably easier to understand branding method is that tokens, while zero-sized if made correctly, must be guaranteed to be constructable only if no other instance exists.

To this end, this crate provides the generate_token macro, which will create a ZST which can only be constructed using TokenTrait::new.
