+//! An immutable, owned value.
+//!
+//! The purpose of `Frozen` is to make a value immutable for the sake of defensive programming. For example,
+//! suppose we have the following:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! struct Bar { /* some data */ }
+//!
+//! struct Foo {
+//!     /// Some computed data that should never change after construction.
+//!     pub computed: Bar,
+//!
+//!     /* some other fields */
+//! }
+//!
+//! impl Bar {
+//!     /// Mutate the `Bar`.
+//!     pub fn mutate(&mut self) { }
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Now suppose we want to pass around a mutable `Foo` instance but, we want to make sure that
+//! `computed` does not change accidentally (e.g. somebody might accidentally call
+//! `foo.computed.mutate()`). This is what `Frozen` is for. We can do the following:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use rustc_data_structures::frozen::Frozen;
+//!
+//! struct Foo {
+//!     /// Some computed data that should never change after construction.
+//!     pub computed: Frozen<Bar>,
+//!
+//!     /* some other fields */
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! `Frozen` impls `Deref`, so we can ergonomically call methods on `Bar`, but it doesn't `impl
+//! DerefMut`.  Now calling `foo.compute.mutate()` will result in a compile-time error stating that
+//! `mutate` requires a mutable reference but we don't have one.
+
+/// An owned immutable value.
