/// before or after key/value pairs. Methods are provided for removing pairs, inserting into edges,
/// accessing the stored values, and moving around the `Node`.
///
/// This handle is generic, and can take any sort of reference to a `Node`. The reason for this is
/// two-fold. First of all, it reduces the amount of repetitive code, implementing functions that
/// don't need mutability on both mutable and immutable references. Secondly and more importantly,
/// this allows users of the `Handle` API to associate metadata with the reference. This is used in
/// `BTreeMap` to give `Node`s temporary "IDs" that persist to when the `Node` is used in a
/// `Handle`.
///
/// # A note on safety
///
/// Unfortunately, the extra power afforded by being generic also means that safety can technically
/// be broken. For sensible implementations of `Deref` and `DerefMut`, these handles are perfectly
/// safe. As long as repeatedly calling `.deref()` results in the same Node being returned each
/// time, everything should work fine. However, if the `Deref` implementation swaps in multiple
/// different nodes, then the indices that are assumed to be in bounds suddenly stop being so. For
/// example:
