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.
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.1 parent 213ad10 commit 65dffc1
