get_mut is unsound

[qwaz-theori]

use self_reference::{OptionRef, SelfReference};

fn main() {
    let mut self_ref: SelfReference<&(), OptionRef<Box<usize>>> =
        SelfReference::new(&(), || Box::leak(Box::new(None)).as_ref());
    {
        let x = Box::new(1234usize);
        // Should be disallowed
        *self_ref.get_mut() = Some(&x);
    }
    // Prints dangling pointer
    println!("{:p}", self_ref.get_ref().unwrap().as_ref());
}

get_mut() can shorten the lifetime 'x in R::Type<'x>. This is unsound because T is invariant in &mut T.
