### **Adopted #6430**
# Objective
`MutUntyped` is the untyped variant of `Mut<T>` that stores a `PtrMut`
instead of a `&mut T`. Working with a `MutUntyped` is a bit annoying,
because as soon you want to use the ptr e.g. as a `&mut dyn Reflect` you
cannot use a type like `Mut<dyn Reflect>` but instead need to carry
around a `&mut dyn Reflect` and a `impl FnMut()` to mark the value as
changed.
## Solution
* Provide a method `map_unchanged` to turn a `MutUntyped` into a
`Mut<T>` by mapping the `PtrMut<'a>` to a `&'a mut T`
This can be used like this:
```rust
// SAFETY: ptr is of type `u8`
let val: Mut<u8> = mut_untyped.map_unchanged(|ptr| unsafe { ptr.deref_mut::<u8>() });
// SAFETY: from the context it is known that `ReflectFromPtr` was made for the type of the `MutUntyped`
let val: Mut<dyn Reflect> = mut_untyped.map_unchanged(|ptr| unsafe { reflect_from_ptr.as_reflect_ptr_mut(ptr) });
```
Note that nothing prevents you from doing
```rust
mut_untyped.map_unchanged(|ptr| &mut ());
```
or using any other mutable reference you can get, but IMO that is fine
since that will only result in a `Mut` that will dereference to that
value and mark the original value as changed. The lifetimes here prevent
anything bad from happening.
## Alternatives
1. Make `Ticks` public and provide a method to get construct a `Mut`
from `Ticks` and `&mut T`. More powerful and more easy to misuse.
2. Do nothing. People can still do everything they want, but they need
to pass (`&mut dyn Reflect, impl FnMut() + '_)` around instead of
`Mut<dyn Reflect>`
## Changelog
- add `MutUntyped::map_unchanged` to turn a `MutUntyped` into its typed
counterpart
