This is just an idea, but I think it should be possible to embed a GhostToken with the data it gives permission to access, and erase the brand lifetime in the process, recreating it for each use. Something like this (or this, with GATs). I believe this is sound but haven't proven it. One big (current) limitation is that the associated type destroys type inference, but I believe that rust-lang/rust#85499 should fix it. Maybe in the meantime a macro could do the job?

  Statically-checked alternatives to RefCell and RwLock

This is slightly unrelated, but this thread made me dig up my own code that I was writing which was going to be essentially the same as the QCell crate, until I discovered that the QCell crate exists, at which point I stopped working on it and contributed to QCell instead (this PR).
