///
/// Supported projections include field projections and index projections.
/// It is not allowed to project into types that implement custom [`Deref`] or
/// [`Index`](core::ops::Index).
///
/// The macro has basic syntax of `kernel::ptr::project!(ptr, projection)`, where `ptr` is an
/// expression that evaluates to a raw pointer which serves as the base of projection. `projection`
/// can be a projection expression of form `.field` (normally identifier, or numeral in case of
/// tuple structs) or of form `[index]`.
///
/// If a mutable pointer is needed, the macro input can be prefixed with the `mut` keyword, i.e.
/// `kernel::ptr::project!(mut ptr, projection)`. By default, a const pointer is created.
///
/// `ptr::project!` macro can perform both fallible indexing and build-time checked indexing.
/// `[index]` form performs build-time bounds checking; if compiler fails to prove `[index]` is in
/// bounds, compilation will fail. `[index]?` can be used to perform runtime bounds checking;
/// `OutOfBound` error is raised via `?` if the index is out of bounds.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Field projections are performed with `.field_name`:
///
/// ```
/// struct MyStruct { field: u32, }
/// let ptr: *const MyStruct = core::ptr::dangling();
/// let field_ptr: *const u32 = kernel::ptr::project!(ptr, .field);
///
/// struct MyTupleStruct(u32, u32);
///
/// fn proj(ptr: *const MyTupleStruct) {
///     let field_ptr: *const u32 = kernel::ptr::project!(ptr, .1);
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Index projections are performed with `[index]`:
///
/// ```
/// fn proj(ptr: *const [u8; 32]) -> Result {
///     let field_ptr: *const u8 = kernel::ptr::project!(ptr, [1]);
///     // The following invocation, if uncommented, would fail the build.
///     //
///     // kernel::ptr::project!(ptr, [128]);
///
///     // This will raise an `OutOfBound` error (which is convertible to `ERANGE`).
///     kernel::ptr::project!(ptr, [128]?);
///     Ok(())
/// }
/// ```
///
/// If you need to match on the error instead of propagate, put the invocation inside a closure:
///
/// ```
/// let ptr: *const [u8; 32] = core::ptr::dangling();
/// let field_ptr: Result<*const u8> = (|| -> Result<_> {
///     Ok(kernel::ptr::project!(ptr, [128]?))
/// })();
/// assert!(field_ptr.is_err());
/// ```

/// For mutable pointers, put `mut` as the first token in macro invocation.
