-    // This is `Pin::new_unchecked(&mut { $value })`, so, for starters, let's

-    // ```rust
-    // macro_rules! pin {( $value:expr ) => (
-    //     match &mut { $value } { at_value => unsafe { // Do not wrap `$value` in an `unsafe` block.
-    //         $crate::pin::Pin::<&mut _>::new_unchecked(at_value)
-    //     }}
-    // )}
-    // ```
-    //
-    // Safety:
-    //   - `type P = &mut _`. There are thus no pathological `Deref{,Mut}` impls
-    //     that would break `Pin`'s invariants.
-    //   - `{ $value }` is braced, making it a _block expression_, thus **moving**
-    //     the given `$value`, and making it _become an **anonymous** temporary_.
-    //     By virtue of being anonymous, it can no longer be accessed, thus
-    //     preventing any attempts to `mem::replace` it or `mem::forget` it, _etc._
-    //
-    // This gives us a `pin!` definition that is sound, and which works, but only
-    // in certain scenarios:
-    //   - If the `pin!(value)` expression is _directly_ fed to a function call:
-    //     `let poll = pin!(fut).poll(cx);`
-    //   - If the `pin!(value)` expression is part of a scrutinee:
-    //     ```rust
-    //     match pin!(fut) { pinned_fut => {
-    //         pinned_fut.as_mut().poll(...);
-    //         pinned_fut.as_mut().poll(...);
-    //     }} // <- `fut` is dropped here.
-    //     ```
-    // Alas, it doesn't work for the more straight-forward use-case: `let` bindings.
-    // ```rust
-    // let pinned_fut = pin!(fut); // <- temporary value is freed at the end of this statement
-    // pinned_fut.poll(...) // error[E0716]: temporary value dropped while borrowed
-    //                      // note: consider using a `let` binding to create a longer lived value
-    // ```
-    //   - Issues such as this one are the ones motivating https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/66
-    //
-    // This makes such a macro incredibly unergonomic in practice, and the reason most macros
-    // out there had to take the path of being a statement/binding macro (_e.g._, `pin!(future);`)
-    // instead of featuring the more intuitive ergonomics of an expression macro.
-    //
-    // Luckily, there is a way to avoid the problem. Indeed, the problem stems from the fact that a
-    // temporary is dropped at the end of its enclosing statement when it is part of the parameters
-    // given to function call, which has precisely been the case with our `Pin::new_unchecked()`!
-    // For instance,
-    // ```rust
-    // let p = Pin::new_unchecked(&mut <temporary>);
-    // ```
-    // becomes:
-    // ```rust
-    // let p = { let mut anon = <temporary>; &mut anon };
-    // ```
-    //
-    // However, when using a literal braced struct to construct the value, references to temporaries
-    // can then be taken. This makes Rust change the lifespan of such temporaries so that they are,
-    // instead, dropped _at the end of the enscoping block_.
-    // For instance,
-    // ```rust
-    // let p = Pin { __pointer: &mut <temporary> };
-    // ```
-    // becomes:
-    // ```rust
-    // let mut anon = <temporary>;
-    // let p = Pin { __pointer: &mut anon };
-    // ```
-    // which is *exactly* what we want.
