Description
I can envision uses cases where there are "setter" functions on a resource:
```witx
resource person {
get_name: function() -> string
set_name: function(name: string)
}
new_person: function(name: string) -> person
```
Right now the implementer of this interface can't get a mutable reference to the underlying `T` as `Handle` doesn't implement `DerefMut`.
Thoughts on implementing it and its safety guarantee (should we wrap the underlying resource with a `RefCell` to at least get runtime borrow-checking)?
