The current TLS macros generate a function that returns an
Option<&'static T>. This is both risky as we lie about lifetimes, and necessitates that those functions areunsafe. By returning a*const Tinstead, the accessor function do not have safety requirements any longer and can be made closures without hassle. This PR does exactly that!For native TLS, the closure approach makes it trivial to select the right accessor function at compile-time, which could result in a slight speed-up (I have the hope that the accessors are now simple enough for the MIR-inliner to kick in).
