Subject: Stop relying on `impl Deref { type Target = Self; ...`
X-Git-Tag: v0.0.124.0^2~17
X-Git-Url: http://git.bitcoin.ninja/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fefaed28585675e2e792357768e6d9a11455c276;p=ldk-c-bindings

Stop relying on `impl Deref { type Target = Self; ...`

... this has a tendency to cause `reached the recursion limit while
auto-dereferencing` errors, and even a dumb struct copy suffices to
avoid it.
