+/// Trait for objects whose [`Clone`] impl is lightweight (e.g. reference-counted)
+///
+/// Cloning an object implementing this trait should in general:
+/// - be O(1) (constant) time regardless of the amount of data managed by the object,
+/// - not require a memory allocation,
+/// - not require copying more than roughly 64 bytes (a typical cache line size),
+/// - not block the current thread,
+/// - not have any semantic side effects (e.g. allocating a file descriptor), and
+/// - not have overhead larger than a couple of atomic operations.
+///
+/// The `UseCloned` trait does not provide a method; instead, it indicates that
+/// `Clone::clone` is lightweight, and allows the use of the `.use` syntax.
