support raw identifiers about derive-into-owned HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi and great to hear you've found this useful! I made this as a sort of trial with the very first proc-macro supports when it came out, so there are probably lot of updates to be made.

If you are interested contributing changes I'd be happy to review. Otherwise this seems like a proper missing featurw I'd be interested seeing implemented. I remember starting from some example proc macro code, you might find similar samples in the dependencies. Replying this from my phone so cannot offer direct links right away.

Edit: Looks like I've added the link in the readme :)

Since I've been pushing off learning proc-macros for a while now, I guess I'll give it some time tomorrow. There is this nice documentation by the amazing David Tolnay now https://github.com/dtolnay/proc-macro-workshop that I'll have to read first.

But since syn and quote have change a lot since those versions used here right now I don't have much hope that I'll be able to leave many lines untouched ;)

well, updating this might be a bit more than a one-day-project, at least for the uninitiated proc-macro developer.

That's fine; maybe I could try to chip in and see as well how to do the dep, ci pipeline, and edition upgrades, this might be much easier to see afterwards.

Need to add a test case for this probably still, then it should be done. #4 already did 99.99% of the work.

Oh just realized I had missed the field name in r#type: Cow<'_, str>, and thought that you meant the '_ could now be used with structs, but as far as I can see, nope, and that would had been "lifetime elision with structs". Maybe this doesn't need a test after all since syn handles this, so closing the issue.
