rust: pin-init: properly document let binding workaround
The three let bindings (in the bodies of `cast_init`, `cast_pin_init` and the `init!` macro) are used to avoid the following compiler error in Rust 1.78.0, 1.79.0, 1.80.0, 1.80.1, and 1.81.0 (just showing the one for `cast_init`, the others are similar): error[E0391]: cycle detected when computing type of opaque `cast_init::{opaque#0}` --> src/lib.rs:1160:66 | 1160 | pub const unsafe fn cast_init<T, U, E>(init: impl Init<T, E>) -> impl Init<U, E> { | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | note: ...which requires borrow-checking `cast_init`... --> src/lib.rs:1160:1 | 1160 | pub const unsafe fn cast_init<T, U, E>(init: impl Init<T, E>) -> impl Init<U, E> { | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ note: ...which requires const checking `cast_init`... --> src/lib.rs:1160:1 | 1160 | pub const unsafe fn cast_init<T, U, E>(init: impl Init<T, E>) -> impl Init<U, E> { | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = note: ...which requires computing whether `cast_init::{opaque#0}` is freeze... = note: ...which requires evaluating trait selection obligation `cast_init::{opaque#0}: core::marker::Freeze`... = note: ...which again requires computing type of opaque `cast_init::{opaque#0}`, completing the cycle note: cycle used when computing type of `cast_init::{opaque#0}` --> src/lib.rs:1160:66 | 1160 | pub const unsafe fn cast_init<T, U, E>(init: impl Init<T, E>) -> impl Init<U, E> { | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = note: see https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/overview.html#queries and https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/query.html for more information Once we raise the nightly-MSRV above 1.81, we can remove this workaround.
