Change pedantically incorrect OnceCell/OnceLock wording While the semantic intent of a OnceCell/OnceLock is that it can only be written to once (upon init), the fact of the matter is that both these types offer a `take(&mut self) -> Option<T>` mechanism that, when successful, resets the cell to its initial state, thereby [technically allowing it to be written to again](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=415c023a6ae1ef35f371a2d3bb1aa735) Despite the fact that this can only happen with a mutable reference (generally only used during the construction of the OnceCell/OnceLock), it would be incorrect to say that the type itself as a whole *categorically* prevents being initialized or written to more than once (since it is possible to imagine an identical type only without the `take()` method that actually fulfills that contract). To clarify, change "that cannot be.." to "that nominally cannot.." and add a note to OnceCell about what can be done with an `&mut Self` reference. ```@rustbot``` label +A-rustdocs |
