Avoid taking a shared reference in UnsafeCell::get. This should be taking a raw reference (see rust-lang/rfcs#2582), but that operation is not currently available, so I propose we exploit repr(transparent) instead and cast the pointer around.

This is required to make UnsafeCell::get pass the stacked borrows implementation in miri (currently, UnsafeCell::get is on a whitelist, but that is of course not very satisfying). It shouldn't affect normal execution/codegen. Would be great if we could get this landed and shrink miri's whitelist!

Seems trivially correct to me due to #[repr(transparent)] but it don't hurt to be extra careful so...

avoid shared ref in UnsafeCell::get

Avoid taking a shared reference in `UnsafeCell::get`. This *should* be taking a raw reference (see rust-lang/rfcs#2582), but that operation is not currently available, so I propose we exploit `repr(transparent)` instead and cast the pointer around.

This is required to make `UnsafeCell::get` pass the [stacked borrows implementation](https://www.ralfj.de/blog/2018/11/16/stacked-borrows-implementation.html) in miri (currently, `UnsafeCell::get` is on a whitelist, but that is of course not very satisfying). It shouldn't affect normal execution/codegen. Would be great if we could get this landed and shrink miri's whitelist!
