+///
+/// Any two calls to `deref` must return the same value at the same address unless
+/// `self` has been modified in the meantime. Moves and unsizing coercions of `self`
+/// are not considered modifications.
+///
+/// Here, "same value" means that if `deref` returns a trait object, then the actual
+/// type behind that trait object must not change. Additionally, when you unsize
+/// coerce from `Self` to `Unsized`, then if you call `deref` on `Unsized` and get a
+/// trait object, then the underlying type of that trait object must be `<Self as
+/// Deref>::Target`.
+///
+/// Analogous requirements apply to other unsized types. E.g., if `deref` returns
+/// `[T]`, then the length must not change. In other words, the underlying type
+/// must not change from `[T; N]` to `[T; M]`.
+///
+/// If this type implements `DerefMut`, then the same restrictions apply to calls
+/// to `deref_mut`.
