///
/// # Example
///
/// Combining `GILProtected` with `RefCell` enables mutable access to static data:
///
/// ```
/// # use pyo3::prelude::*;
/// use pyo3::sync::GILProtected;
/// use std::cell::RefCell;
///
/// static NUMBERS: GILProtected<RefCell<Vec<i32>>> = GILProtected::new(RefCell::new(Vec::new()));

/// A write-once cell similar to [`once_cell::OnceCell`](https://docs.rs/once_cell/latest/once_cell/).
///
/// Unlike `once_cell::sync` which blocks threads to achieve thread safety, this implementation
/// uses the Python GIL to mediate concurrent access. This helps in cases where `once_cell` or
/// `lazy_static`'s synchronization strategy can lead to deadlocks when interacting with the Python
/// GIL. For an example, see [the FAQ section](https://pyo3.rs/latest/faq.html) of the guide.
///
/// Note that:
///  1) `get_or_init` and `get_or_try_init` do not protect against infinite recursion
///     from reentrant initialization.
///  2) If the initialization function `f` provided to `get_or_init` (or `get_or_try_init`)
///     temporarily releases the GIL (e.g. by calling `Python::import`) then it is possible
///     for a second thread to also begin initializing the `GITOnceCell`. Even when this
///     happens `GILOnceCell` guarantees that only **one** write to the cell ever occurs
///     - this is treated as a race, other threads will discard the value they compute and
///     return the result of the first complete computation.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// The following example shows how to use `GILOnceCell` to share a reference to a Python list
/// between threads:
///
/// ```
/// use pyo3::sync::GILOnceCell;
/// use pyo3::prelude::*;
/// use pyo3::types::PyList;
///
/// static LIST_CELL: GILOnceCell<Py<PyList>> = GILOnceCell::new();

///         .bind(py)
