So you're aware of the simple and obvious solutions, but you have arbitrarily
excluded them from consideration for no particular reason? Why not just use a
second pair of arrays?
There's no trick you can use, I don't think. The lifetime qualifiers define
the semantics of the variables. Even if you could temporarily override them,
that would lead the compiler to do the wrong thing at other places. It would
over- or under-release things.
