I found nothing outside of core-foundation itself: . Maybe @ratake can tell for what they use(d) the feature?

Can you please comment if this addition is wanted at all? The prime usecase is serde, which would allow deserialization without copying or allocations is some cases.

I tried to replicate the methods and implemented traits of `Cow`, as not to make using `CompactString` more difficult. I guess `CompactString` has much more use cases than `CompactCow`. 2....

I haven't looked at beef. I made CompactCow so that it has the same representation as CompactString. It uses `253` as its last byte to tell if the string is...

Was fixed in #513.

Sorry, it's too complicated to make the module and all dependencies work with no-std.

Cargo actually provides a per-crate temporary directory for such a use-case. You can have a look how I use caching in Nate: [build.rs](https://github.com/Kijewski/nate/blob/ae04d2c48ec1d8d47a0c7e172542b1a4ad246700/nate-derive/build.rs), [generate.rs](https://github.com/Kijewski/nate/blob/ae04d2c48ec1d8d47a0c7e172542b1a4ad246700/nate-derive/src/generate.rs#L95-L99).
