Reference-counted fat pointers that contain both an owning std `Rc` (or `Arc`)
and a pointer to a field owned by that `Rc`. This is a "self-referential" type
in the vein of [ouroboros](https://lib.rs/ouroboros) or [yoke](https://lib.rs/yoke).

By specializing just for the reference-counted pointers, this crate provides a
much simpler API compared to that of ouroboros, yoke, or any other crate for
general self-referential types.
