It seems like an example of Pin with a shared reference is probably not the best bet -- most users will not want that. I think we should demonstrate with a &mut reference at least.

    let mut val: u8 = 5;
    let mut pinned: Pin<&mut u8> = Pin::new(&mut val);
    println!("{}", pinned); // 5
    pinned.as_mut().set(10);
    println!("{}", pinned); // 10

Would this work?
