Description
Feature gate: #![feature(deref_mut_methods)]
This is a tracking issue for missing named methods which are equivalent to a DerefMut implementation. It is loosely related to #144288, which tracks methods which already exist but are not const-stable.
Public API
impl OsString {
pub const fn as_mut_os_str(&mut self) -> &mut OsStr;
}
impl PathBuf {
pub const fn as_mut_path(&mut self) -> &mut Path;
}

Research direction
Start by reading implementation issue #144289 and the deref_mut_methods feature-gate context. The tracking issue names OsString::as_mut_os_str and PathBuf::as_mut_path, but implementation is already tracked separately. Done requires completing implementation, the final comment period, and stabilization steps listed here.
