> Anyone know why there isn't a single type/interface that allows for consumers to supply any of Arc, Rc etc boxed values? Your generic interface just takes a

Was just curious whether somebody else was tracking this, or there was a known workaround. I think it's something the language will eventually support. I saw other threads on rustlang asking for the same thing, and best I saw was some sort of enum style hack representing the boxed types to emulate it
