TIL if you have an enum Foo { Bar(T), Baz(T) } you can impl Deref w/ Target = T for Foo and then treat &Foo as a T, ridding yourself of silly stuff like match foo { Bar(x) => do_thing(x), Baz(x) => do_thing(x) } and instead use do_thing(*x)
You really shouldn't use the deref trait for this. Deref is only meant for pointers. Just add an `as_x` method, it'll be much clearer.

they can take my deref conversions when they pry them from my cold dead hands
