I see, we cast the inner pointer of the `Arc` to the target type which
is wrapped in an `ArcInner` that is then used for another `Arc`. This is
important as this new value now owns the pointer and, by consequence,
it is safe to forget the passed `Arc` as it won't leak the pointer.
Thus, this method is safe.
