think what I've learned this morning is that RefCell is for mutating inside short-lived borrows, whereas I'm attempting to extract long-lived references from something, intertwined with mutating it, which is never going to work

They both own the data though right? And they both allow getting &mut T from an &.*Cell<T> right?
Cell does not have anything that is `fn(&self) -> &mut T`. It does have a `fn(&mut self) -> &mut T`, but that's not useful for interior mutability.

Well shit now I'm even more confusered. I will dig into this later. I need to focus on moving right now x.x

Oh I get it, cell allows interior mutability, do you can set behind a shared borrow. But it doesn't have runtime borrow rules, so you cannot access the inner value other than they Copy unless you can get a mutable ref to it.
