Why are you using this crate?

[koivunej]

Over it's lifetime this crate has seen quite many downloads. For example, the 2021-10-19 had a huge (for this crate) 10k per day spike. I haven't used this crate myself in a few years but would be interested to know what are you using it for? If you are more than trying it out, does the duck typing aspect of $field.into_owned() give you any trouble, if so, how do you work around it?

I guess I'm mostly interested to hear if this should have some warning disclaimers on the README; I worry anyone trying this crate out quite quickly becomes aware of the limitations of it and the std::borrow::Cow. Would be happy to guide new folks to a blog post on std::borrow::Cow limitations if anyone knows a recent one.

I personaly use it for some parsers where I try to create the entire data-structure only with cow types.
