  • Implement <Rc<Any>>::downcast::<T>
    • New unstable method. Works just like Box<Any>, but for Rc.
    • Any has two cases for its methods: Any and Any + Send; Rc is never Send, so that case is skipped for Rc.
    • Motivation for being a method with self is to match Box and there is no user-supplied type; the inner type is Any and downcast does not conflict with any method of Any.
  • Arc was skipped because Any itself has no downcast for the case that makes most sense: Any + Send + Sync

I'll probably revise this -- the pointer math in from_raw does not optimize out as it should

Why we don't implement downcast for Any + Send + Sync? Other than it isn't terribly necessary.

Implement downcast the like it exists for Box.

The implementation avoids using into_raw/from_raw, because the pointer
arithmetic which should cancel does not seem to optimize out at the
moment.

Since Rc<T> is never Send, only Rc<Any> and not Rc<Any + Send>
implements downcast.

I pushed a new version with a more direct implementation, because the pointer arithmetic of using into_raw/from_raw did not optimize out. (playground demo for that)

@kennytm I'm not sure, there are only four combinations of Any and Send, Sync, so it's simple to cover them all, but a bit confusing in the API doc.
