-// This exercise explores the Cow, or Clone-On-Write type. Cow is a
-// clone-on-write smart pointer. It can enclose and provide immutable access to
-// borrowed data, and clone the data lazily when mutation or ownership is
-// required. The type is designed to work with general borrowed data via the
-// Borrow trait.

-// This exercise is meant to show you what to expect when passing data to Cow.
