There are a few crates that abstract the unsafe setup you need for a self referential struct, but I'm not sure which or their status. And they might employ "Pin" for their abstraction, I'm not sure. Pin is basically a wrapper type to keep an object from being moved. The interesting thing is that Pin doesn't receive special compiler treatment for its implementation. It's implemented in normal rust (IIRC).
