This is useful to allow returning an iterator based on a directory iterator
without needing a self-referential struct.

I don't understand the motivation for this PR. Can you please show an example? What does this enable that couldn't as easily be done with the existing API?

Here's where I use it: https://github.com/wmanley/ostree-oxide/blob/d3f38da61deb614be67d3705519df0235e4d2e84/ostree-repo/src/lib.rs#L253-L281

This allows me to return an Iterator that owns the Dir. This is important because I open the Dir in the function that returns the Iterator. I couldn't work out how to do this with the existing API short of self-referential structs.

Would it be possible to add a usage example?

Done, it's a little contrived, but illustrative.

@asomers Ping: Are there any other changes you'd like to make this suitable to go in?

I think this looks good. It just needs three small things:

  1. CHANGELOG entry (may require a rebase to avoid conflicts)
  2. Squash
  3. Doc comment for OwningIter. It can simply say "The return type of [Dir::into_iter]".

Thanks for the review. I've done these three things.

CI on "OSX x86_64" failed with:

warning Agent process on a persistent worker exited unexpectedly!

but I can't imagine that the failure was caused by this PR.

The OSX failure looks like perhaps GCE yanked the VM out from under us. That happens sometimes.

My [patch to nix](nix-rust/nix#1333) was merged and
now it's upstream.  This was causing builds to fail because I deleted the
repo from `wmanley/nix` after merging.
