+/// Target that provides a handle to the display powering the event loop.
+///
+/// This type allows one to take advantage of the display's capabilities without
+/// having to create a window. It implements [`HasDisplayHandle`].
+///
+/// The main reason why this type exists is to act as a persistent display handle
+/// in cases where the [`Window`] is not created yet. Let's say that your graphics
+/// framework has a type `Display<T>`, where `T` has to implement [`HasDisplayHandle`]
+/// so that the graphics framework can query it for data and be sure that the display is
+/// still alive. Also assume that `Display<T>` is somewhat expensive to construct, so
+/// you cannot just create a new `Display<T>` every time you need to render.
+/// Therefore, you need a *persistent* handle to the display to pass in as `T`. This
+/// handle cannot be invalidated by the borrow checker during the lifetime of the
+/// program; otherwise, you would have to drop the `Display<T>` and recreate it
+/// every time you need to render, which would be very expensive.
+///
+/// The [`EventLoop`] type is either owned or borrowed mutably during event
+/// handling. Therefore, neither [`EventLoop`], `&EventLoop` or a [`DisplayHandle`]
+/// referencing an [`EventLoop`] can be used to provide a [`HasDisplayHandle`]
+/// implementation. On the other hand, the [`EventLoopWindowTarget`] type disappears
+/// between events so it can't be used as a persistent handle either. In certain
+/// cases, you can use a [`Window`]; however, for certain graphics APIs (like OpenGL)
+/// you need to be able to query the display before creating a window. In this case,
+/// you end up with a "chicken and egg" problem; you need a display handle to create
+/// a window, but you need a window to access the display handle.
+///
+/// The [`OwnedDisplayHandle`] type breaks this cycle by providing a persistent handle
+/// to the display. It is not tied to any lifetime constraints, so it can't be
+/// invalidated during event handling. It is also cheaply clonable, so you can
+/// more easily pass it around to other parts of your program. Therefore, it can
+/// be passed in as `T` to your graphics framework's `Display<T>` type without
+/// worrying about the borrow checker.
+///
+/// To create an [`OwnedDisplayHandle`], use the [`EventLoopWindowTarget::owned_display_handle`]
+/// method.
+///
+/// ## Safety
+///
+/// The [`DisplayHandle`] returned by the [`OwnedDisplayHandle`] type is guaranteed to
+/// remain valid as long as the [`OwnedDisplayHandle`] is alive. The internal display
+/// handle is not immediately closed by the [`EventLoop`] being dropped as long as
+/// the [`OwnedDisplayHandle`] is still alive. On all platforms, the underlying display
+/// is either ref-counted or a ZST, so this is safe.
