I think of it the other way around: The invariant guarantees that `inner` is
*always* valid.

The the `drop_in_place(inner)` call has to justify that it upholds this
invariant, by ensuring that at the time it is called no other code that accesses
`inner` can ever run.

Defining it the other way around would make the `inner()` accessor unsafe.
