This works around compilation errors on nightly when casting to the generic
DynIterator
type. This is caused by invariant lifetimes on PDB's stream type. The transmute is actually safe since the lifetime of the data is proved to be larger than the lifetime of the derived object. However, we can avoid the transmute in the future by changing theObjectLike
trait to correct lifetimes, which will constitute a breaking change.
